Okay, so the news is out about more layoffs at Rivian, dated June 16th. The WSJ mentioned it, but details are a bit thin. I'm trying to piece together who was affected and how many. Was it across the board, or specific departments? I've heard different percentages tossed around, from 6% to 10% in past rounds, but this latest one seems less clear. If anyone has any concrete information, internal whispers, or can point to a more detailed source, please share. It’s hard to navigate this uncertainty without knowing the scope. Was it performance-based, role consolidation, or something else entirely? Trying to understand the strategy behind these recurring cuts is crucial for those of us still employed.

This is really disheartening to hear. The constant restructuring must be incredibly stressful for everyone working there. I haven't seen any official breakdowns beyond the initial reports, but it's a worrying trend given the current market. Hopefully, those affected land on their feet quickly. Fingers crossed for some clarity soon.

Yeah, the lack of specific numbers is frustrating. It's hard to get a real sense of the scale when it's just vague mentions. I saw a few comments on other threads hinting it might be heavily concentrated in software/engineering roles that were scaled up during the hiring boom, but that's just speculation at this point. Wish I had more concrete info to offer.
