Laid off from Rivian? Here’s what your severance should be.

Rivian cut hundreds of roles in June 2026 — reported as under 2% of its workforce — a week after it began deliveries of its R2 SUV. The cuts were reported to affect service and customer teams. If you were affected, a first severance offer is usually negotiable.

Rivian has not publicly detailed this round’s package. In prior rounds, reporting described affected employees remaining on payroll with full pay and benefits for about 60 days, with severance then based on role and tenure. Estimate a fair range for your own profile below. Rivian is headquartered in Irvine, California, with major operations in Illinois.

Before you sign your Rivian severance agreement

A first severance offer is almost always a starting point. The company expects most people to accept it without a word — which is exactly why a specific, market-grounded counter so often works. Use the estimate above to see whether your offer is low, fair, or already generous for your role and tenure, then negotiate from there. If you are 40 or older in the US, you are entitled to time to review the agreement before signing; in Canada, your provincial minimum is a floor, not the real number.
