General Motors (GM) is preparing to eliminate jobs in Israel, with layoffs already initiated at its development centre in Herzliya.
The closure of GM's autonomous vehicle subsidiary, Cruise, has triggered job cuts at its global hub, leading to a company-wide restructuring.
The reorganization aims to address redundancy and remove overlapping roles, focusing the Israel team on research and development, cyber, fleet, engagement services, and more.
Recent layoffs at various US locations are part of GM's cost-cutting efforts, as the company navigates challenges faced by Cruise, such as safety episodes and financial strain.
