Uber is laying off about 10% of its global workforce as part of significant organisational changes to simplify operations and speed decision-making, and it is shutting down services in certain African countries to focus on growth areas.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Micromobility, and 3 sources have reported it.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Uber is scaling back its workforce and geographic reach sharply to cut costs and boost agility. You need to rethink growth plans around faster decisions and leaner teams if you operate in mobility or delivery.
