The company also said they were working to provide assistance, resources, and additional support to those laid off. Arizona’s Family received the following statement from a Carvana spokesperson, which read in part: “While Carvana is still growing, our growth is slower than what we originally prepared for in 2022, and we made the difficult decision to reduce the size of certain operations teams to better align with the current needs of the business.” Carvana made the announcement in a filing with the federal Securities and Exchange Commission on Tuesday. The company said it plans to let go of 2,500 people, or about 12% of its workforce, as they look to “better align staffing and expense levels with sales volumes.” Most of those jobs are in Ohio and “a few logistic hubs,” the notice said.

TEMPE, Ariz. - Tempe-based used car retailer Carvana is laying off 12% of its workforce, or 2,500 employees, according to an email obtained by FOX 10.

It was over $3,000 in the time I was gifted it," said Sergio Silva, one of the laid off Carvana employees. It comes down to, ‘oh, you are corporate in different clothing.'" The company, which quickly became a billion-dollar company since it was founded a decade ago, is known nationwide for its multi-story car vending machines. "I came to Carvana because I thought they were different," said Silva. "I really thought they were about the people, and then you realize they really don’t care. Garcia wrote in the email that the Carvana executive team would forego its salaries for the remainder of the year to help contribute to the severance pay for the laid-off employees. "We had been gifted 23 shares of Carvana stock.

An estimated 2500 Carvana employees will lose their jobs.

Layoffs were probably an inevitability given that Carvana reported its first-ever sales decline in April of this year—a year when used-car prices and demand are still at unprecedented highs. The email, which we have not verified but seems legitimate, also says the layoffs add up to roughly 12 percent of Carvana’s employees, and offered the same information about severance for the affected employees contained in the SEC filing. All impacted team members will have the opportunity to receive four weeks of pay plus an additional week for every year they have been with Carvana. Impacted team members will also have the opportunity to receive extended healthcare coverage, pay equal to early vesting of certain previously granted equity awards, recruiting and résumé support, and continuing participation in certain other company programs.

"While Carvana is still growing, our growth is slower than what we originally prepared for in 2022, and we made the difficult decision to reduce the size of certain operations teams to better align with the current needs of the business. "With our costs relatively fixed in the short term, the lower retail unit volume led to higher cost of goods sold per unit." The company also said it believes the used-vehicle market is stable and will average sales of 40 million or more units annually. "All impacted team members will have the opportunity to receive four weeks of pay plus an additional week for every year they have been with Carvana," the company said in a statement. The company made the announcement during a Zoom meeting Tuesday after notifying employees the day before not to come into the office. "People were just freaking out," he said.

Online car dealer Carvana Co. plans to lay off 12% of its workforce after closing a deal to expand operations that forced the company to borrow on onerous ...

Much of the company’s gross profit was booked through accounting for gains on sale from the auto loans it generated before packaging them and selling them onto investors, a practice that made it unique among most of its peers. JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Citigroup Inc., the banks Carvana hired to raise about $3.3 billion for the deal, initially struggled to place bonds and preferred equity at an affordable rate. Carvana’s sales sequentially decreased for the first time ever in the first quarter as it reported a net loss of $260 million. "It has always been the right move to start building for growth well ahead of when we expect it to show up," Mr. Garcia wrote in the email. Carvana CEO Ernie Garcia III said in an email to employees that the company had overshot its growth strategy and would cut around 2,500 workers, centered around the company’s operations. The company’s shares closed Monday at $38.77, 90% off an all-time high of $370.10 hit last August.

The company bet big on growth that didn't come to pass, and is now facing the consequences.

Expansion was fueled with a bevy of loans, and a whole $2.2 billion was spent purchasing the Adesa vehicle auctions business in a recent deal. It seems the company bet too heavily on the strong growth it saw as buyers flocked to the online marketplace as COVID fears scared customers away from brick-and-mortar lots. The CEO's words are cold comfort to those at risk of losing their jobs, with the companywide email coming as a nasty surprise to many. The company's sales don't bode well, either, with the company quoting a loss of $260 million in Q1 this year. The company has just announced plans to lay off 12% of its workers, as reported by the Wall Street Journal. In internal emails viewed by The Drive, Carvana CEO Ernie Garcia III highlighted the conditions that precipitated the layoffs.

In order to "help contribute to the severance pay for departing team members," Carvana said its executive team will forgo their salaries for the remainder of 2022. "While Carvana is still growing, our growth is slower than what we originally prepared for in 2022, and we made the difficult decision to reduce the size of certain operations teams to better align with the current needs of the business," a Carvana representative told The Hill in a statement. The company made the decision to make the cuts, which represent roughly 12% of its workforce, in response to macroeconomic factors that have "pushed automotive retail into recession," according to the filing.

Company officials cited "recent macroeconomic factors" that pushed the automotive retail industry into a recession as a factor in the layoffs.
