Uber lays off 3,300 employees in largest cuts since the pandemic

Uber Technologies has laid off 3,300 employees, representing 10 percent of its workforce, marking the largest staff reductions since the start of the pandemic. CEO Dara Khosrowshahi stated the cuts aim to reduce management layers, simplify team structures, and focus on building an 'autonomous future.' The decision follows previous layoffs in customer service roles and a hiring slowdown linked to increased investment in artificial intelligence. The company plans to significantly reduce remote work, with only about 1% of employees expected to remain remote. Despite strong revenue growth, Uber faces challenges in its robotaxi division, including competition from companies like Tesla and Waymo.
