Uber has made significant cuts in its recruitment and human resources departments, laying off 23% of those roles due to a perceived complexity and fragmentation within the teams. Although the exact number of affected employees wasn't disclosed, these layoffs represent less than 1% of Uber's overall workforce. In addition to the layoffs, some remote HR staff have been asked to return to the office to align with the company's hybrid work policy introduced last year. These moves reflect Uber's ongoing efforts to streamline operations and enhance efficiency under CEO Dara Khosrowshahi.
