Uber proceeds with laying off 10% of its workers globally

SAPO Notícias2 September 2026 at 14:01

Uber announced a restructuring that includes the dismissal of 10% of its workers globally, representing approximately 3,300 people. The decision was communicated by the company's CEO, Dara Khosrowshahi, who justified the measure as part of a broader reorganization strategy.

In addition to the dismissals, the company will proceed with a restructuring of its internal divisions, which means that the workforce reduction will not be limited solely to the elimination of jobs. The company thus aims to optimize its organizational structure.

In parallel, Uber abolished remote work, a measure that falls within the same context of transformation of the company's internal policies. This decision directly affects employees who had been working remotely until now.
