Uber to cut 10% of global workforce in major restructuring
Uber Technologies is implementing a major global restructuring that includes cutting approximately 3,300 jobs, representing about 10% of its workforce. CEO Dara Khosrowshahi stated the move aims to make the company “simpler and faster” by reducing management complexity and fragmented responsibilities caused by rapid growth.
The reorganization includes several key structural changes: the number of managers will decrease by 20%, and the company will nearly halve the number of micro-teams consisting of only one or two members. Additionally, Uber will merge its engineering, science, and delivery departments, as well as its operational teams for restaurants, retail, and white-label delivery.
As part of the shift toward a more centralized model, Uber is significantly tightening its remote work policy. Only about 1% of the workforce is expected to remain fully remote, with most employees required to return to office hubs, such as San Francisco and New York, under a hybrid arrangement requiring at least three days in the office per week.
The cost savings from these measures are intended to fund future growth and innovation, specifically targeting the development of autonomous vehicle technology. Uber plans to invest more than $10 billion in robotaxi partnerships and initiatives in the coming years to compete with rivals like Waymo and Tesla.
