About

Electric vehicle manufacturer Rivian announced layoffs affecting 6% of its workforce in late July 2022. This reduction, part of a broader restructuring effort, was driven by challenging economic conditions and the company's strategic need to optimize costs and improve operational efficiency as it scaled production of its electric trucks and SUVs. The move impacted hundreds of employees within the competitive automotive and clean transportation industry, where Rivian operates as a notable, publicly-traded startup.
