Rio Tinto will join the season of layoffs, and is expected to reduce 30 senior executives.

Rio Tinto is expected to cut a considerable portion of its top 100 executives, with the new CEO Jode continuing to streamline the global second largest mining company, making it more streamlined. It is expected that the second phase of layoffs will target levels below the nine-member executive committee of Rio Tinto, which has about 90 people holding the title of "Managing Director", with as many as 30 people possibly being laid off.
