Summary

Uber’s cutting about 10% of its workforce—roughly 3,400 employees—to streamline operations, speed up decision-making, and free up cash for future bets like self-driving tech. CEO Dara Khosrowshahi framed it as a move to simplify the company and clarify responsibilities, trimming middle management layers without blaming AI. Surprisingly, Uber’s stock rose on the news, signaling investor confidence in the pivot toward leaner, faster growth.
