Stellantis SLASHED the Pentastar engine team, Global ICE engine development work to Brazil(South America), some vehicle testing to Windsor

Base on stuff/info I gathered:
And more layoffs coming to CTC and Paris:

"This isn't going to be the last," a person briefed on the matter told Automotive News on Friday. "They are going to be doing this in waves so they can game the WARN Act."

Brazil is the "Home Room" ICE as South America will need ICE & Hybrids for a long time.

More like "Le Cost Killing" ...Tavares was Ghosn's right-hand man( until he left for PSA).
They making all the moves for an acquisition of GM.... moving a some of the engineering to contract agencies makes it easier to eliminate post-GM closing.

Stellantis ends with a Michigan White Collar workforce slightly bigger than pre-Covid lockdown(16-17,000).
Given GM's size (30,000) that's huge net cut to White Collar workforce.
