Uber Technologies announced Wednesday that it plans to eliminate approximately 3,300 jobs worldwide as part of a major restructuring aimed at simplifying the company’s operations.

The cuts represent about 10% of Uber’s global workforce and mark the company’s largest reduction in staffing since the COVID-19 pandemic. CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said the company’s rapid expansion had created additional management layers, fragmented responsibilities and organizational complexity that had slowed decision-making.

Under the restructuring, Uber plans to reduce its number of managers by about 20% and eliminate nearly half of its small teams consisting of only one or two employees. The company is also combining parts of its engineering, science, and delivery operations in an effort to create a leaner organizational structure.

Uber is also tightening its remote-work policy. Less than 1% of its employees are expected to remain fully remote, while the vast majority of remote workers will be asked to return to company offices. The company plans to concentrate more employees in major hubs, including San Francisco and New York.

The restructuring comes as Uber increases its focus on autonomous vehicles and robotaxi services. The company has committed more than $10 billion toward autonomous-vehicle technology and is facing growing competition from companies including Waymo and Tesla.

The layoffs will affect Uber’s corporate workforce and do not include the company’s millions of drivers and couriers, who generally work as independent contractors.

Khosrowshahi said the changes are intended to make Uber “simpler and faster” while creating additional capacity to invest in the company’s future growth.
