Uber Announces Layoffs Affecting 3,300 Employees as Part of Restructuring
Uber is cutting approximately 10% of its global workforce, or around 3,300 employees, in a restructuring effort aimed at reducing management layers and focusing on core business areas such as ride-sharing, delivery, and robotaxi. The move was announced by CEO Dara Khosrowshahi via an internal email published online. As part of the changes, Uber plans to reduce its number of managers by 20%, eliminate remote work for nearly all staff (only less than 1% will be allowed), combine engineering, science and delivery divisions, and streamline operations across restaurant, retail, and direct delivery teams. The restructuring is intended to address growing complexity within the company as it scales. Khosrowshahi cited issues such as excessive layers of management, fragmented ownership structures, and coordination challenges that no longer serve Uber at its current size. The layoffs were first reported by Bloomberg before being confirmed in the internal email.
