Roughly 20pc of Uber’s management layer is being cut, alongside nearly half of its micro teams.
Uber is cutting roughly 3,300 jobs globally in a bid to reduce management layers and focus investments into future opportunities.
The layoffs, which amount to around 10pc of the company’s total workforce, is designed to make Uber “simpler and faster” said CEO Dara Khosrowshahi, mirroring other Big Tech companies that have collectively laid off more than 120,000 jobs this year alone.
“A leaner organisation will mean clearer ownership, faster decisions and more time spent building rather than coordinating,” Khosrowshahi told employees in a lengthy email.
“It will also generate savings that we intend to reinvest in growth, innovation and the capabilities that will matter most over the coming years,” he said.
