Uber is laying off about 3,300 people, or about 10% of its global headcount, in a bid to cut management layers and invest more in its ride-sharing, delivery and robotaxi divisions. The company announced the changes in an internal email sent by CEO Dara Khosrowshahi and published online Wednesday.
According to the email, the layoffs are part of a restructuring exercise that would shrink the number of managers by 20%, and some personnel in these roles would work as individual contributors going forward.
