Uber to cut about 3,300 jobs in global restructuring

Uber announced a restructuring that will eliminate roughly 10% of its global workforce, about 3,300 positions. The plan calls for flattening the hierarchy by cutting many micro‑teams and reducing the number of employees more than seven layers below the CEO by 20%, while consolidating staff in major hubs such as New York and San Francisco and limiting remote work to around 1% with a three‑day‑in‑office requirement. The cuts affect corporate and managerial roles, with some managers shifted to individual‑contributor positions. The move comes as Uber faces mounting competition from robotaxi operators such as Waymo, which already runs self‑driving cars through Uber’s app in several U.S. cities.
