Uber slashes people division by nearly 25% as CEO signals "necessary changes"
Uber announced significant workforce reductions in its people (HR/operations) division, cutting nearly a quarter of headcount. CEO statements framed the move as part of broader operational restructuring and efficiency drives, likely signaling further cost discipline across the company.
The move follows broader tech industry layoff patterns and may indicate Uber's shift toward more autonomous, AI-augmented workforce management as the company seeks margin improvement in competitive ride-share and logistics markets.
