Summary

Rivian carried out a second round of layoffs in months, cutting 119 white-collar corporate staff in the United States after rolling out its R2 pricing and production revisions. The cuts follow earlier workforce reductions at the company as it adjusts operations to the R2 vehicle program and broader cost-saving goals. Rivian framed the move as part of ongoing efforts to streamline corporate functions and align staffing with its current product and financial plans. The layoffs are limited to white-collar roles and come amid broader industry restructuring and Rivian's attempts to stabilize production and margins.
