Uber Cuts 3,300 Jobs, Tightens Work-From-Home Rules

Khosrowshahi told staff, “Uber is moving toward a model in which employees are grouped around a small number of designated hubs: its two largest offices in New York and San Francisco will house global teams, with additional regional, country and tech hubs for other functions.”

Under the new approach, fully remote roles will be capped at approximately 1 % of the company’s global headcount. This marks a major reversal from the flexible, work-from-anywhere culture Uber had built up over the five years since the pandemic began.

The restructuring also brings a major change for employees working from home. Uber plans to ask the vast majority of its remote employees to relocate closer to company offices.
