NewsData.io · United States · Sep 2, 2026
Uber Technologies is eliminating approximately 3,300 positions — nearly 10% of its global workforce — in its largest restructuring since pandemic-era cuts in 2020. The reorganization targets management bloat, reducing leadership layers by roughly 20% and consolidating engineering, science, and delivery operations teams. CEO Dara Khosrowshahi cited five years of rapid growth creating excess coordination layers and fragmented ownership as key drivers. Savings will be redirected toward ride-hailing, delivery, and robotaxi expansion.
