Rivian minskar personalen med tio procent
Sämre prognos än väntat
Foto: Wikimedia CommonsFörra året lyckades Rivian dubblera antalet levererade bilar (runt 57.000) jämfört med föregående år, men de gjorde ändå en förlust med 5,4 miljarder dollar. Prognosen för i år ser inte så lovande ut och företaget tror inte att de kommer leverera fler fordon än under 2023. Tidigare trodde man att över 80.000 skulle kunna skeppas i år, men så ser det alltså inte ut att bli. Mycket på grund av den lägre efterfrågan på elbilar. Därför måste det sparas in lite pengar och tio procent av personalen kommer att få gå. Idag har man 16.700 anställda.Rivian R2 presenteras den 7 mars men väntas inte börja tillverkas förrän någon gång 2026, vilket är en bit bort fortfarande.
Hi Team,
Team changes are the hardest decisions I have to make as CEO. I have some difficult news to share. Tomorrow, we're reducing our salaried employees by approximately 10% along with a limited number of non-manufacturing hourly employees. I want to give you some additional context on how we came to this decision.
Our business is facing a challenging macroeconomic environment—including historically high interest rates and geopolitical uncertainty—and we need to make purposeful changes now to ensure our promising future. We must strategically prioritize our growth areas of the business, including the launch of Peregrine and R2 as well as investing in our go-to-market capabilities. We've recently implemented several organizational and leadership changes, but we need to do more to achieve our strategic priorities.
Tomorrow, February 22, employees who are impacted will receive a calendar invite between 7:30 and 8 a.m. PT for a 1:1 meeting with their manager later that same morning. We know the timing here is difficult – waiting between now and tomorrow to understand whether you're impacted is far from ideal, but we want to ensure a considerate notification process that accommodates all time zones. We will be doing everything we can to support our impacted colleagues through the separation process, including severance, eligibility for Rivian-paid COBRA benefits coverage and access to job placement services. Also, anyone impacted tomorrow will still be eligible for our FY'23 bonus.
I recognize saying goodbye to friends and colleagues isn't easy. I'm thankful for everyone's contributions, and for those who leave us, I want to thank you deeply for everything you've done for Rivian, and for what you've done to advance our mission.
