Uber plans to cut 3,300 jobs as robotaxi rivals close in
Bloomberg reported that Uber plans to eliminate about 3,300 corporate jobs. Reuters and The Guardian cited that report. The cuts equal roughly 10 percent of Uber's global workforce. An internal memo called the move a reset to remove layers and speed decisions. The cuts are Uber's largest since 2023. Uber is also spending to compete in autonomous driving and delivery.

Uber did not immediately comment to Reuters. The memo tied the cuts to management structure and speed, not directly to AI. Robotaxi competition is business context here, not Uber's stated reason for the layoffs.
Watch which teams lose staff and whether Uber shifts more spending toward autonomous vehicle partnerships. The sharper test is whether fewer management layers help Uber move faster, or leave it with less capacity.
