What we know
Based on news reporting.
Summary
Rivian previously carried out five publicly disclosed rounds of layoffs between February 2024 and October 2025 that together eliminated thousands of jobs. The combined cuts included roughly a 10% salaried reduction in February 2024, a ~1% staff cut in April 2024, and three 2025 rounds that removed about 140, ~150, and more than 600 employees respectively; the article aggregates these past reductions to a total of 2,929 positions. Despite the 2024–2025 reductions, Rivian's consolidated headcount rose to 15,232 by year-end 2025, partly due to hires into the RV Tech joint venture, and CEO RJ Scaringe later said headcount grew to ~17,000 in early 2026. The article frames the layoffs as cost-cutting measures tied to macroeconomic pressures, efforts to reach gross-margin targets, and structural adjustments ahead of the R2 launch, while noting some cuts targeted manufacturing, sales, service, marketing, and operations roles.
Rivian cut 2,929 jobs as of June 12, 2026.
That is roughly 19.5% of the 15,000 people Rivian employs.
