Based on news reporting.
Summary
Rivian Automotive Inc. implemented workforce reductions in mid-June 2026, cutting "hundreds of roles" — reported as under 2% of total headcount — with the reductions focused on service and customer operations. The article ties the cuts to broader pressures on the company, including slowing EV demand, cash burn, high lease pricing for the R2 SUV, and an NHTSA preliminary evaluation of certain R1S suspension components. Rivian's stock slid on the news, and the layoff was presented as a cost-cutting measure amid efforts to extend runway despite significant negative margins and cash outflows. No city or specific facility location was provided and no precise single-number total was stated; the article quantified the cuts as "hundreds" and "under 2% of total headcount."
Rivian cut 200 jobs affecting its service and customer operations team as of June 16, 2026.
That is roughly 1.3% of the 15,000 people Rivian employs.
