The CEO, Peter Rawlinson, stated that the specific details of the job cuts will be released in the coming days.<\/p>\n<p>Lucid has attributed these lay-offs to &#8220;cost discipline&#8221; and is also part of a company restructuring plan. This move comes after months of production issues and a recall of nearly 600 vehicles due to a problem that could lead to a loss of power. <\/p>\n<p>Rawlinson acknowledged that the decision was not an easy one as it creates uncertainty for the employees affected. He stated that the affected employees will receive a severance package with access to career resources, continuation of healthcare coverage, and accelerated equity.<\/p>\n<p>This move is the latest in a series of job cuts across the sector as many companies struggle to handle inflation and a possible recession. Rawlinson explained: &#8220;These decisions are designed to position us to be more resilient and agile, thereby strengthening the company for the long-term&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The company still plans to pursue its mission of being a global leader in innovative and environmentally sustainable future transportation.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>    <\/body><br \/>\n<\/html><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The electric vehicle startup Lucid told employees it would lay off roughly 18% of its workforce during a staff meeting on Tuesday.
