I had recently covered this in another article; it is a strategic move aimed at optimizing the workforce at some 20 plants, including those in Toledo and Detroit, where the company recently announced plans to reduce staff.
The offer includes a maximum payment of $72,000 for employees who choose to leave the company. To be eligible for this incentive, workers must have at least one year of seniority with Stellantis. However, the exact amount of payment varies based on length of service, with longtime employees eligible for the maximum compensation.
