Uber Technologies Inc. is reducing its People and Places division by 23%, impacting senior roles in human resources, recruitment, and workplace facilities. This decision, made by newly appointed president Jill Hazelbaker, affects less than 1% of Uber's global workforce of 34,000 employees.

General Motors has laid off over 600 employees, more than 10% of its IT department, to hire workers with stronger AI skills. The company aims to transform its Information Technology division to better align with future needs.

The company is reducing its workforce by nearly half, from over 10,000 employees to just under 6,000. Affected employees will receive a severance package of 20 weeks' salary plus an additional week for each year of service.
