Uber Cuts 3,300 Jobs and Exits Nigeria, Uganda in Global RestructuringPreviousNext

Uber is cutting about 3,300 jobs, roughly 10% of its global workforce, as part of a major restructuring to simplify its organizational structure, reduce management layers by 20%, and improve decision-making speed. The company plans to consolidate teams, reduce small "micro-teams," and focus investments on growth areas including ride-sharing, delivery, and autonomous vehicles. Uber is also exiting Nigeria and Uganda to realign its business priorities in Africa. CEO Dara Khosrowshahi emphasized the changes are about organizational efficiency, not individual performance.
