GM's IT Executive Team has had over six years to streamline and improve internal processes and they have done a very poor job (at best).
Now, the quick fix is to ax 30% of the workforce without addressing the underlying problems.
It may look good on paper to the stockholders but it won't make a damn bit of difference in the real world except the people being laid off.
Well i have to defend IT - the the hardware base is top notch - great team and under standing - true the software side needs helps.
Speaking of "inefficiencies," just take a gander out the window on your way to "work," and really take in what a "Hell on Earth" the industrialists have created... it's ALL GARBAGE... and it's destroying our families and communities...
One of my friends was an early employee of GM Cruise, and he is now worth millions. So yeah, they did well. Not sure what it's like if you join at this point, but I would take them over Uber and Lyft. They are focusing on a very specific market: software for autonomous vehicles. And since they are a wholly owned subsidiary of GM (Marry Barra has been an amazing CEO), they have access to the institutional support of a major auto company and its market reach and customer base. Uber and Lyft (especially the former) are trying to do too much and burning through cash to capture market share of an industry that has low barriers to entry.
