According to a recent report, Carvana is letting employees go and not filling open positions as a way to reduce its headcount. To go along with this, some employees have also seen their hours cut to reduce costs.
While these job cuts aren’t happening all at once, they are a continuation of Carvana layoffs from last year. In 2022 the used-car retailer cut some 4,000 jobs. This saw it joining several other companies downsizing their workforce, The Wall Street Journal notes.
What’s Behind the Carvana Layoffs?
The job cuts at Carvana come alongside economic strain for many companies. That’s due to inflation increasing costs in the U.S., as well as The Federal Reserve increasing interest rates to try and combat it. All of this is putting extra pressure on both companies and consumers, which means less spending.
Investors will also note that the last year hasn’t been good for CVNA stock. During that period of time, the company saw the price of its stock drop 95.7%. To go along with that, the company’s cash has been dwindling with fears it won’t be able to repay its debts.
CVNA stock is down 13.6% as of Friday morning.
