TRUber Technologies has announced plans to cut approximately 10% of its global workforce, or about 3,300 jobs, as part of a management restructuring aimed at streamlining operations, reducing costs, and improving decision-making efficiency. This follows a challenging year for the company’s stock, which has declined nearly 8% compared to the broader S&P 500. The layoffs represent the largest since May 2020, when Uber cut nearly a quarter of its workforce during the pandemic. The restructuring includes reducing the number of management layers beneath the CEO by 20%, cutting 'micro-teams' by nearly half, and concentrating most of its staff in key hubs like New York and San Francisco. Remote work policies will also change, requiring most remote workers to relocate and limiting fully remote roles to just 1% of the workforce.
