CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said Uber is removing organizational layers and taking other steps to boost its efficiency.

Uber is cutting small teams by nearly half and allowing about 1% of its workforce to continue working remotely.

In a bold move, Uber is set to cut its workforce by roughly ten percent, affecting around 3,300 staff members. This decision is part of a larger strategy to streamline management and improve team functionality across the globe.

Uber lays off 3,300 employees in its third 2026 restructuring, cutting management layers and reinforcing its in-office policy.

As part of the overhaul, Uber is reducing the number of employees who sit seven or more layers below the CEO by about 20%. It is also cutting the number of “micro-teams,” teams with just one or two direct reports, by nearly 50%.

Uber is laying off 10 percent of its workforce, the company announced Wednesday, in part as an effort to eliminate layers of management. Meanwhile, Uber and AI company Wayve have launched autonomous rides in London.

The move comes at a time when many tech companies are looking to reconstruct corporate org charts with fewer layers and more managers.

Uber is cutting 10% of its global workforce to flatten organisational layers, CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said in a memo.
