What happened

Uber will cut about 3,300 jobs, roughly 10% of its global workforce, in a restructuring announced by CEO Dara Khosrowshahi. The plan reduces management layers, merges teams and cuts the number of managers by about 20%, while increasing the number of employees reporting to each manager. Khosrowshahi said the changes are intended to make Uber “simpler and faster” and shift capacity toward rides, delivery and autonomous-vehicle initiatives. The layoffs return Uber’s staffing to about 2021 levels and mark its largest workforce reduction since 2020.
