Layoff history
Uber cut 23% of its people division, the group that handles human resources and recruitment, affecting well under 1% of a 34,000-person workforce. The company said the reduction was meant to tighten operations and eliminate overlapping responsibilities within the segment. Management explicitly denied that artificial intelligence drove the decision, even though Uber had recently put spending caps on AI tools.
