Carmaker GM, coding platform GitLab plan hundreds of job cuts
Summary
GitLab announced plans to cut an undisclosed number of jobs and may reduce its global operational footprint by up to 30%, reorganising R&D into about 60 small teams and removing management layers. The company says this is not an AI cost-cutting exercise but a response to having grown into a shape that no longer fits, and it will reveal a new structure by 1 June and financial impacts on a 2 June earnings call. General Motors has begun cutting roughly 500–600 salaried IT roles as it shifts its IT function toward greater software, computing and AI capabilities, with about 30 Ireland-based employees reported at risk. Both companies frame the moves as operational restructures to better position for future technology changes, particularly increased AI integration.
