Summary
Uber’s cutting 3,300 jobs — its biggest layoff since the pandemic — to streamline operations and slash management layers as it bets big on robotaxis. Facing stiff competition from Waymo and shaky food delivery performance, the company aims to save $825M annually, redirecting funds toward self-driving tech. CEO says rapid growth created too much complexity, so they’re trimming 20% of managers and dissolving small, specialized teams. Uber is also acquiring Delivery Hero in Europe and targeting 15 cities for robotaxi rollout, betting its massive user base will give it a leg up in the autonomous race.
