The layoffs mark Uber's largest since May 2020 when the company cut about 6,700 jobs, or nearly a quarter of its workforce, due to pandemic restrictions. The latest round comes amid pressure in its robotaxi unit and investor concerns over autonomous ride-hailing companies like Waymo threatening Uber's market share.
Khosrowshahi stated that the changes would reduce organizational complexity that had slowed down decision-making and created roles focused on coordination. He did not blame AI for the cuts, unlike several tech executives who have cited it as a reason for layoffs. The company will concentrate global teams in New York and San Francisco, requiring most remote workers to relocate.
Uber's shares rose about 2% in premarket trading following the announcement, which was first reported by Bloomberg News. Despite strong growth, with revenue jumping 18% between 2024 and 2025 to $52bn, Uber stock has struggled this year, down 8%. The company plans to invest $10bn into building its presence in the robotaxi market.
