Direct na de start van de oorlog in Iran twijfelde de Texaanse olieboer John Bozeman nog hoeveel hij zou profiteren. Maar twee maanden later is dat gevoel wel weg, blijkt uit zijn eigen cijfers én die van grote oliebedrijven.

Het zou gaan om vijfhonderd tot zeshonderd werknemers die worden ontslagen, melden ingewijden aan persbureau Bloomberg. De autofabrikant uit Detroit bevestigt aan Bloomberg dat er banen worden geschrapt.
Door in te grijpen wil GM de IT-afdeling voorbereid hebben op de toekomst. De ontslagen werknemers maken ruimte voor kantoorpersoneel met een andere technologische achtergrond. De autobouwer maakt de afgelopen tijd meer gebruik van AI en voegt meer computer- en softwaremogelijkheden toe aan zijn auto's.
GM heeft in oktober van vorig jaar ook honderden kantoormedewerkers ontslagen. Toen werden er ook duizenden fabrieksmedewerkers de laan uitgestuurd omdat investeringen door de autofabrikant in elektrische auto's tegenvielen.
