Layoff news is unsettling. Anyone else feeling it?
Just saw the news about the latest layoffs at Uber. It's always a shock when it happens, even if you're not directly affected. Seeing these numbers pop up makes you think about job security, no matter your role. Feels like the rug could be pulled out any second. I'm not sure if it's just the general tech climate, but these constant cuts are really starting to wear on people. Makes it hard to plan, hard to feel invested when the axe can fall so suddenly. Anyone else finding it difficult to stay motivated or focused with all this uncertainty swirling around? It's a weird time to be working in this industry. Just venting, I guess. Feels like a lot of us are in the same boat, trying to navigate through this.
Uber cuts confirmed - what's the strategy here?
So, another round of layoffs just hit Uber. Seems like a pretty significant number according to the news. Was anyone directly impacted or heard more specifics about which departments are being hit hardest? I'm trying to understand the logic behind these cuts. Are they shifting focus, trying to cut costs aggressively, or is this a sign of deeper issues? It's hard to make sense of it all from the outside, and the lack of official communication (at least that I've seen) doesn't help. Feels like a lot of uncertainty for everyone still there. Curious to hear if anyone has insights into the long-term plan or if this is just reactive. The market's been tough, but feels like Uber is making some pretty drastic moves. Anyone have thoughts on how this impacts the company culture or future growth?
Uber layoffs - what's next for us?
So, the news hit today. Heard it was around X employees, mainly impacting [mention a plausible department like 'mid-level engineering' or 'operations support']. I've been with Uber for about 7 years, mostly on the driver support side. This feels like the third time they've done a big 'reset' since I joined. Curious what everyone else is seeing or hearing. Is this a sign of deeper issues, or just the usual churn? I'm trying to stay positive and focus on the next steps, but it's tough when you see so many colleagues affected. Anyone already lining up interviews or have some advice for navigating the market right now? Any word on how internal transfers might be affected?
Anyone else caught in the June 3rd Uber layoffs? Gutted.
Just got the notification this morning, 6/3. Was part of the Mobility team, been here 4 years. Totally blindsided. We had a good quarter, or at least that's what we were told. My manager was vague, just said it was 'organizational restructuring' and that my role was 'no longer needed'. No real explanation. Severance is... okay, I guess? About 2 months pay plus benefits for 4 years. Feels a bit light but what can you do. Trying not to spiral but it's hard. Anyone else in a similar boat? Trying to figure out what to do next, feels like the rug has been pulled out from under me.
Just got out of an interview, felt weirdly easy...
I interviewed for a Senior Software Engineer role today and honestly, it was strange. The questions were way easier than I expected, almost like they weren't really trying to gauge my technical skills. Has anyone else experienced this recently? The interviewer seemed distracted and kept glancing at their phone. I'm wondering if they're under pressure to fill the role quickly because someone left suddenly, or worse, if they're just going through the motions because they're planning layoffs and freezing hiring soon anyway. I feel like I should be happy it was easy, but now I'm just suspicious. Maybe I'm overthinking it, but I've been burned before. Thoughts?
Severance package details - what to expect?
Hypothetically speaking, if there WERE layoffs, what does Uber usually offer in terms of severance? I'm a Senior Manager in Product, been here for 3 years. I know it probably depends on tenure and level, but a general idea would be helpful. Also, does anyone know if they take back the sign-on bonus if you haven't been here long enough? Or claw back stock options? I'm trying to understand the worst-case scenario and how much runway I'd have if I got the axe. I am hearing rumors, and they all don't look good. Has anyone been through something like this before and can give some advice? I have a family, so thinking ahead is really important. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Anyone else feeling super uneasy after that all-hands?
I've been at Uber for almost 5 years now, in Engineering, and I've seen some stuff. But that all-hands meeting last week felt different. The CEO kept talking about "efficiency" and "streamlining operations," which, let's be honest, is code for layoffs. He didn't explicitly say it, but the vibe was definitely there. My team has been working overtime trying to hit these ridiculous targets, and now I'm wondering if it's all just so they can cut us and say they squeezed everything they could out of us first. Anyone else feeling this way? I'm starting to update my resume just in case. What are some things I should add? I haven't looked at it in a while.
Uber interview loop - behavioral questions are KILLING me
I'm interviewing for a Senior PM role at Uber right now, and I'm bombing the behavioral questions. I always get tripped up on the 'Tell me about a time you failed' or 'Tell me about a conflict you had with a coworker' questions. I know the STAR method, I've rehearsed my answers, but I still feel like I'm rambling and not making a good impression. Any advice on how to better prepare for these? Specifically looking for tips that are more tailored to Uber's culture - I know they value 'boldness' and 'customer obsession', so how can I weave that into my answers?
Just survived a layoff - Sharing my severance experience
Just wanted to share my recent experience in case it helps anyone else. I was part of the Rides engineering team and got laid off last week after 5 years with the company. The severance package was 3 months' salary, plus unused vacation time, and they're covering COBRA for 6 months. They also offered career counseling services, which I haven't looked into yet. Honestly, it felt pretty standard, maybe even a little less generous than some of my friends at other companies got. The worst part was the suddenness of it all. One minute I'm in a meeting, the next I'm being escorted out of the building. Make sure your LinkedIn is updated, even if you aren't actively looking. You never know.
Anyone else feeling the pre-layoff jitters at Uber right now?
I've been at Uber for 3 years now, in the Eats org, and I can't shake this feeling that something's coming. Maybe it's just the general market uncertainty, but there's been a lot of talk about 'efficiency' and 'restructuring' in recent all-hands meetings. My manager has been extra vague about project roadmaps too, which is never a good sign. Anyone else noticing similar things in their departments? Specifically wondering about folks in Marketplace and Core.
