  • Summary: Uber's newsroom post states it is cutting about 10 percent of staff, that the vast majority of remote employees are asked to move to an office, and that going forward only about 1 percent stay remote. The post states the existing three-days-a-week hybrid policy gets enforcement attention. Uber also states it combined Core Services Engineering and Science into one team, and that the cuts fell primarily on coordination roles and management layers rather than on a business line.
  • Why it matters: The location change is the part that reaches engineers directly, since remote work ends for all but about 1 percent of employees and the existing hybrid policy moves to enforcement.
  • Follow-up: Track whether Uber states the affected headcount and which teams beyond Core Services Engineering and Science were merged.
