据彭博社报道，通用旗下Cruise公司内部再次宣布大规模裁员，裁员人数为900人，占据总员工数达24%。此次裁员主要是在商业运营和相关的公司职能部门。Cruise发言人表示，裁员主要是在商业运营和相关的公司职能部门，“这些变化反映了我们决定将重点放在更加深思熟虑的商业化计划上。”
此次裁员之前，Cruise曾经历过工厂停摆和CEO辞职的动荡。自从十月份的事故以来，Cruise一直在努力恢复其形象。此次裁员不仅对普通员工造成了影响，也对高管层造成了压力。
据备忘录中的内容，“在对10月2日事件及Cruise的应对进行初步分析后，有九名人员离开了Cruise。”这也意味着，此次被解雇的9名高管或许都与此前自动驾驶事故有关。备忘录中还表示：“我们致力于全面透明，并专注于在安全、诚信和问责方面恢复信任并以最高标准运营，我们需要新的领导层来实现这些目标。”
Cruise母公司通用汽车表示，由Quinn Emmanuel律师事务所带头的调查预计将持续到1月份。通用汽车还计划大幅度削减预算，总计在明年削减30亿美元（约214.14亿元）左右的成本，包括20亿美元的固定成本。
在Cruise全面停摆的情况下，通用汽车受影响的小时工将在其他工厂获得职位。不过，裁员要到明年1月1日才会开始。改造的Orion工厂也得在2025年底才能重新投入使用。

General Motors’ Cruise unit announced a massive layoff of 900 employees on Wednesday, representing 24% of the company’s total workforce. The layoffs, which affect both regular and management employees, come after a series of setbacks for the self-driving vehicle company, including a fatal accident in October and the resignation of its CEO.
According to a memo, “after a preliminary analysis of the events of October 2nd and the response of Cruise, nine people left the company.” It also stated, “We are committed to transparency, safety, and accountability, and we need new leadership to achieve these goals.”
General Motors said it would be conducting an investigation led by Quinn Emmanuel Law Firm for the company’s response to the October 2nd accident. The company also announced a significant budget cut, with a total of $30 billion (approximately 214.14 billion yuan) in cost savings planned for next year, including $20 billion in fixed costs.
In the wake of Cruise’s full-stop, General Motors’ hourly workers affected by the layoffs will be shifted to other factories. However, the layoffs will not take place until January 1st next year. The Orion plant, which will be transformed, can not resume operations until the end of 2025.
