Uber is reducing its workforce by 23% in its People and Places division, impacting fewer than 1% of its 34,000 global employees, according to BeInCrypto. The cuts, which affect many senior roles, are part of a strategy to streamline operations under the newly promoted president, Jill Hazelbaker. The company emphasized that the decision is not related to artificial intelligence, a common justification for layoffs in the tech sector. Uber continues to hire for over 800 positions, including roles focused on commercializing robotaxis, despite a recent slowdown in hiring.
