Overview
- Uber announced on Wednesday that it will eliminate roughly 3,300 roles, about 10% of its global staff, and has notified affected employees where local rules allow.
- The company said it will cut managers by about 20% and shrink 'microteams' while merging engineering, science and delivery groups to speed decision making.
- Uber will sharply curb fully remote work to roughly 1% of employees and concentrate teams in fewer strategic locations to boost in‑office collaboration.
- The company framed the savings as funding for core services and a larger push into autonomous vehicles, with media reports citing near‑$10 billion in robotaxi commitments and partnerships.
- Uber stressed the cuts target corporate roles and not drivers or delivery couriers, and the move follows earlier reorganizations this year as the firm seeks to reduce complexity from rapid growth.
