Uber has laid off more than 3,000 employees — roughly 10% of its global workforce — as part of an organizational restructuring aimed at reducing management layers, consolidating teams, and shifting away from remote work. Simultaneously, food-tech platform Wonder cut approximately 150 roles (7% of its staff), including positions within Grubhub, as it prepares for a potential IPO. Both companies framed the cuts as simplification efforts ahead of their next growth phases. For staffing firms, the moves signal continued pressure on coordination and management roles in tech-adjacent sectors, while also creating candidate flow from two high-profile employers.
