Uber’s new president, Jill Hazelbaker, reportedly said the cuts were unrelated to the ongoing implementation of artificial intelligence.

Human Resources employees at Uber, who had previously been cleared to work from home, are also being asked by the new president to return to the office.

The changes come three weeks after Hazelbaker assumed the expanded role of president and chief corporate affairs officer.

Ride-hailing service provider Uber Technologies (UBER) is reportedly slashing 23% of jobs across its “People and Places” division.

According to a Bloomberg report on Wednesday, the company’s newly promoted president, Jill Hazelbaker, informed affected employees of the cuts in an internal memo, as part of an initiative to streamline the team.
