Uber Lays Off 14 Percent of Staff, Pandemic Pummels Business

Uber announced this week that it’s cutting 3,700 roles as the coronavirus crisis pummels its ride-share business and that of its competitor Lyft.

An Uber spokesperson confirmed to Gizmodo that the layoffs will affect roughly 14 percent of the company’s employees.

According to a memo CEO Dara Khosrowshahi sent to the Uber team, the eliminations are hitting its CommOps and Recruiting teams.
