General Motors Co. laid off more than 200 salaried employees on Friday, mostly at its Tech Center in Warren, Michigan, according to Bloomberg.
The cuts, announced around 7 a.m. via a Slack message, were attributed to “business conditions” rather than performance, according to people familiar with the meeting.

@f3 I work in engines, our main designer for a redX got cut. Of course no replacement plan…
Crazy now leadership can make bad/wrong decisions and when it's time for accountability, they fire people. I've done my job, why am I being let go because of upper leadership's decisions. They should be held accountable, not the employees. But they get to continue to live their millionaire liftstyle.
Any EV engineers at tech center got yanked.
Very few terminations are really due to performance, no matter what the executives say.
They're really all due to mismanagement of the business, and it's easier to scapegoat people at the bottom of the ladder than take responsibility.
