Uber cuts 10% of workforce — 3,300 jobs
–
Neutral summary
Uber announced it is laying off approximately 3,300 employees, or about 10% of its global workforce, as part of a major restructuring aimed at simplifying management and speeding up decision-making. CEO Dara Khosrowshahi told staff the company is making “a series of significant organizational changes” that will reduce the team by roughly 10%. The cuts are the largest since May 2020 and will mainly affect lower-level positions. Uber is also tightening remote-work rules, requiring most staff to return to offices, and plans to invest up to $10 billion in robotaxis while exiting two African markets. The company had about 34,000 employees worldwide at the end of last year.
