Management Restructuring

Uber lays off roughly 3,000 employees to flatten management structure

Uber is cutting about 10 percent of its roughly 34,000-person workforce as part of a reorganization that removes management layers and merges overlapping teams. CEO Dara Khosrowshahi told staff the changes aim to reduce coordination overhead and speed up decision-making, while consolidating global teams primarily in New York and San Francisco. The company is also requiring most remote workers to relocate to an office and enforcing its three-day-a-week hybrid policy.
