Uber is cutting 3,300 roles — about a tenth of its global workforce — marking its largest layoff round since the pandemic. CEO Dara Khosrowshahi has told employees the move is about reprioritising how the company is organised, not its financial health. The report frames the restructuring as an effort to make room for Uber's robotaxi ambitions.
Main Update
Uber is eliminating 3,300 jobs, roughly 10% of its workforce worldwide, announced Wednesday by CEO Dara Khosrowshahi.
Impact
This is Uber's biggest workforce reduction since COVID, when it cut 14% of staff — about 3,700 jobs.
Official Response
Khosrowshahi wrote to employees that the decision was not made lightly and reflects what the company is prioritising, not individual performance.
Current Status
Uber continues to grow — the CEO acknowledged the company "has grown by orders of magnitude" in five years and denied an economic slowdown prompted the cuts.
Strategic Context
The layoffs come as Uber makes room for its robotaxi future, according to the report.
What Next
Affected teams, regions, and severance details have not yet been specified.
