Thought the Mercedes deal was a good thing for the company. Guess they thought otherwise https://jalopnik.com/rivian-backs-away-from-van-partnership-with-mercedes-af-1849881555/amp
What if RIVIAN becomes another ELMS?
What about employees who resigned BIG 3 and joined the dream of another Tesla?
how do people feel about hiring Tesla's sloppy seconds?
It feels a bit strange that there's this hiring spree of people who didn't make the cut at Tesla after the layoffs last year. The financial losses were awful, the market is terrible, and it's not like Tesla was getting out the Cybertruck with these... — read more
The fat lady is getting ready to sing
We will need to show expense discipline to the Street to stop the bleeding. Hang on tight!
Has anyone had their RSAs recharged?
I’m still mostly not vested and it’s getting to the point that I can leave it and go but do they give you more?
More layoffs in December?
Anyone have any info? It’s been very quiet.
Here come the layoffs

A layoff would be a relief for me
I am totally drained. I worked long hours at previous companies too, but nowhere was I under as much stress as here. Rivian is literally squeezing employees. I am satisfied with pay but I think that coming here was a big mistake and I would be... — read more
Who is at the greatest risk?
If it is true that there will be more cuts by the end of the month, does anyone have more details about who will be the main target groups?
Cr-p here we go again round 2 layoffs
Just heard from my manager more cuts happening end of month. Just got my list of names. Can't take this anymore
Team members mass resignations
6 people on my team gave their notice the las 2 weeks. No quiet quitting here employees are quitting loud and clear. Be careful those looking for work if Rivian reaches out. Not a good culture now
Nobody should consider themselves to be safe
Rivian is in freefall. There'll be many more layoffs before things stabilize once again. Thinking that you are safe because two major layoff rounds just took place is naive. I wouldn't be surprised if there are at least two more similar rounds with a... — read more
Why are the postings/boasting missing on LinkedIn?
“I am proud of my product”
When can we expect the next round?
When will we be screwed?
What's happening at Rivian?
What's the story currently at Rivian? Is the whole company dying? Or just some departments? What's the mood there now? I'd guess too many working from home?
Poached Apple employees
Several Apple employees who went to Rivian for a bigger salary got laid off. The funny thing was the people they left behind at Apple didn’t miss them. Bad choice of job hops.
Ford folk got hit today. 3K per the Ford board
Unfortunate for those that got affected.
Ouch

July numbers not looking good. One more round coming end of Auguat. Hang on folks it going to get bumpy
Share your layoff experience
Brutal seeing the shocked look on people. I was spared for now. Updating my resume now
Do you think there is more to come?
I hope for the best but I'm expecting the worst.
We'll know more after today
Once the earnings report is out we'll know more about what we can look forward to in the future. In the absence of any official word, this is our best way to figure out what's coming. It won't be hard to conclude if there'll be more layoffs soon or... — read more
It’s been a bloodbath these past few weeks
Hundreds of people let go. Loyal people who were here in the early days. A lot of postings on LinkedIn saying how much they appreciate what the company has done for them . That’s BS. They screwed over hundreds of staff and managers with no empathy. A... — read more
Should I work for Rivian?
What is it like at Rivian now? Is it a great employer?
Uh oh
Anyone getting the feeling that something big is about happen in Normal?
