Uber cuts 10% to streamline operations

As if the road wasn't already tough enough, the ride-hailing giant is trimming the fat to focus on growth.

Uber is laying off about 3,300 people, or about 10% of its global headcount, in a bid to cut management layers and invest more in its ridesharing, delivery, and robotaxi divisions. The company announced the changes in an internal email sent by CEO Dara Khosrowshahi and published online Wednesday.


According to the email, the layoffs are part of a restructuring exercise that would shrink the number of managers by 20%, and some personnel in these roles would work as individual contributors going forward. Uber is reducing the number of teams with one or two members by 50%, and letting go staff who are 'more than seven layers down from the CEO,' per Bloomberg. Khosrowshahi’s email said the company is combining its engineering, science, and delivery divisions. The company is also bringing together its delivery operations across restaurants, retail, and direct divisions.


Remote jobs at the company are going away, too, with Uber only allowing less than 1% of its staff to work remotely. In the email, Khosrowshahi reflected, 'We’ve built new products, expanded into new businesses, reached more consumers and supported more earners, and become a much larger and stronger company. But that growth has also brought complexity: more layers, more coordination, more fragmented ownership, and in some cases structures that made sense when businesses were smaller but no longer serve us well at our current scale.'


These changes come at a time when ride-hailing and delivery services are facing increased competition and regulatory pressures, all while striving to maintain profitability.
