I can't say it's surprising. Nearly 5% of your workforce is housed in marketing when your name has become synonymous with the gig economy. Uber has become such a staple in people's lives that it does not require the same level of forefront promotion as other companies in order to stay relevant. Walk down the street and you will see a car, scooter, or bike with an Uber symbol.

It's definitely hard to justify the headcount as a publicly traded company. Definitely empathize with the folks who lost their jobs though, I hope the company offered them a decent package and that they all find new opportunities.

@SM1, just because you said it I believe you. I’m completely wrong with my comment

Uber is a great example of how capitalism and greed has literally made it sink money away irresponsibly and now has to cut jobs and “get serious”.

Alexa, *play if you go to San Francisco*

Uber isn’t a tech unicorn as much as a rapie troll

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.
