Stellantis, the automaker, has recently executed a series of layoffs and job cuts across its operations, including the firing of 6650 employees in 2023. A notable strategy involved instructing all salaried nonbargaining workers to work from home on March 22, which was followed by the firing of 400 white-collar employees. This move has been described as using a 'mandatory remote work day' to facilitate the layoffs, with some employees reportedly being informed via 10-minute video calls, a tactic criticized as 'beyond shameful, disgusting' and 'sneaky'. Additionally, Stellantis has signed a voluntary exit deal targeting up to 1,500 workers in Turin and announced further cuts of 2,500 positions in Europe due to slow sales. These actions are part of Stellantis's response to economic headwinds and the auto industry's ongoing uncertainties and competitive pressures. The company stated that these cuts are necessary to improve efficiency and optimize operations. In total, the broader tech and automotive sectors have seen significant job reductions, with over 60,554 job cuts reported this month.
