An electric vehicle company and a big hotel have disclosed plans for hundreds of job cuts affecting their Bay Area workers, the latest jolts for an increasingly wobbly employment market in the nine-county region.
Rivian Automotive and Marriott San Mateo Hotel have revealed their decisions to chop jobs in the Bay Area, according to official notices the companies sent to the state Employment Development Department.
The two companies plan to slash a combined 276 jobs in the Bay Area, the WARN notices show.
Here are the details of the recent layoffs:
— Rivian Automotive, a maker of electric vehicles, has decided to cut 149 jobs in Palo Alto. The company also is cutting another 154 jobs in the Orange County city of Irvine.
— Marriott San Mateo Hotel is cutting 127 jobs in San Mateo as part of the closure of that hotel.
The job cuts are all described as being permanent.
