Uber is cutting approximately 3,300 jobs globally, which represents about 10% of its workforce, as part of a major restructuring plan. The goal of this effort is to streamline operations, reduce the number of management layers, and focus more resources on core areas like ride-sharing, food delivery, and robotaxi technology. The company shared details of the layoffs in an internal email from CEO Dara Khosrowshahi, which was later published online. The changes are part of a broader effort to simplify the company’s structure and improve efficiency. According to Khosrowshahi’s message, Uber plans to reduce the number of managers by 20%, with some of those employees moving into roles where they directly contribute to projects rather than managing others. The company is also cutting back on small teams of one or two people by 50%, and it will be eliminating positions that are more than seven levels below the CEO. These changes are intended to flatten the organizational structure and reduce unnecessary complexity. Uber is also merging several departments, including engineering, science, and delivery, and consolidating its delivery services across different areas like restaurants, retail, and direct-to-consumer operations. Additionally, the company is reducing the number of remote work positions. Currently, less than 1% of Uber’s staff are allowed to work remotely, and this policy will be further restricted as part of the restructuring. Khosrowshahi noted in his email that while Uber has grown significantly, this growth has introduced challenges such as more layers of management, more coordination needed between teams, and structures that worked well when the company was smaller but are now outdated. The restructuring is meant to address these issues and align the company’s operations with its current size and strategic goals.
