Government Motors (GM) To Cut U.S. Workforce In Half!

Daily Report USA

A confidential memo from General Motors’ CEO, Mary Barra, has been leaked, revealing the company’s plan to gut its U.S. workforce. Barra’s memo says that GM is offering a “Voluntary Separation Program” to its U.S. employees that will provide an “attractive compensation and health care package.”

The Program is aimed to reduce GM’s workforce in the U.S. and is aimed to be done “voluntarily.” The company has asked more than half of its American employees to decide within two weeks whether they want to take the offer.

Workers in South Korea will be offered a similar program, however, employees in Canada, Mexico, Europe, and China will not be given the same offer. There is no clarity as to whether Barra has plans to cut jobs in these countries as well.

GM currently employs about 167,000 people in the U.S. across its divisions, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, and GMC, and its headquarters. The company used to sell half of all cars in the U.S. market, but now only sells one in six.

The future of GM and how many cars it will be able to produce with a reduced workforce remains unknown, as Barra did not address this in her memo.

The Impact

GM’s decision to cut its workforce will have a significant impact on the lives of thousands of employees. The company, once known for being the leading automaker in the U.S., is now facing the challenge of reducing its workforce to remain competitive.

The consequences of this move are yet to be seen, but it is clear that the impact will be felt not just by the employees but also by the communities where GM has a presence. The future of the company and the American auto industry is uncertain, and only time will tell how this decision will play out.
