What about employees who resigned BIG 3 and joined the dream of another Tesla?

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 

We will need to show expense discipline to the Street to stop the bleeding. Hang on tight!

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?

“I am proud of my product”

When will we be screwed?

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?

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.

Unfortunate for those that got affected.

July numbers not looking good. One more round coming end of Auguat. Hang on folks it going to get bumpy

Brutal seeing the shocked look on people. I was spared for now. Updating my resume now

I hope for the best but I'm expecting the worst.

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 

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 

What is it like at Rivian now? Is it a great employer?

Anyone getting the feeling that something big is about happen in Normal?
