How Many Roles Are Being Eliminated?
In the internal memo, the chief executive wrote, “As a result, we are eliminating roughly 80 roles across the business today.”
The scale of the restructuring is approximately 1.6% to 1.7% of Uber Freight’s workforce. For employees navigating the announcement, the immediate support includes severance and transition assistance, with managers conducting individual meetings with those impacted.
Why Is the Business Restructuring?
The reductions are aimed at simplifying operations, eliminating overlapping responsibilities and improving organizational efficiency.
The organizational changes include reducing management layers, eliminating duplicate responsibilities and shifting certain functions between departments, including operations and marketplace teams. The company characterized the layoffs as operational adjustments rather than a response to broader freight market conditions.
Where Is Hiring Continuing?
For job seekers assessing openings alongside the restructuring, Uber Freight has 290 open positions and hired 55 employees over the past 30 days.
Much of the hiring is concentrated in Uber Freight’s managed transportation business. Customer support is another area of expansion: Uber Freight recently added 18 employees to that team and has several additional openings.
