About
Electric vehicle startup Rivian laid off approximately 40 employees, or about 2% of its then 2,000-person workforce, in early June 2020. The cuts occurred at its engineering and design center in Plymouth, Michigan, affecting various departments including engineering and recruiting. While the company stated the layoffs were performance-based to streamline operations, some former employees believed they were linked to the economic pressures of the COVID-19 pandemic. Concurrently, Rivian announced new executive hires, including a replacement chief operating officer, as it continued its growth trajectory supported by major investments from backers like Amazon and Ford.
