Uber

Feeling the burnout before the next wave hits

I’m honestly exhausted. The constant cycle of 'reorganization' at Uber is starting to feel like a psychological experiment at this point. Every time a WARN notice drops for another 90-100 people, the rest of us just have to keep our heads down and act like it’s business as usual. How are you all coping? I’ve got friends in the Seattle office who are scrambling after the cuts there, and the morale here is at an all-time low. It’s hard to stay motivated to build features when you’re constantly looking over your shoulder wondering if you’re next on the spreadsheet. I’ve been here for four years, and I’m starting to think it’s time to jump ship before I get my own calendar invite for a 'mandatory sync.' Is anyone else looking for an exit strategy, or are you holding out for the next round of stock vests? I’m feeling completely hollowed out by the corporate speak.

Sunnyvale office just got the axe—is the pivot to robotaxis to blame?

Just saw the official notification hit for the Mathilda Place office. It’s 94 people getting the boot effective November 2nd. The vibe in the office has been absolute trash for months, but getting the final confirmation through the WARN notice makes it hit different. I’ve been hearing rumors that they are thinning out the operations team to dump more capital into the robotaxi R&D projects. It feels like they’re gutting the human element of the support side to pay for the long-term play. If you were part of that cohort, how are you handling the severance package? They’re offering the bare minimum, and honestly, in this market, it feels like a slap in the face. Anyone else here getting caught in this reorganization sweep?

Is it just me or is Uber becoming a revolving door?

Reading about these recent layoffs, especially the 93 in Seattle, it just reinforces a feeling I've had for a while. It seems like Uber is constantly restructuring, reorganizing, and then, bam, layoffs. It feels less like strategic moves and more like a perpetual state of flux. This latest one, while smaller than some previous waves, still hits people. Makes you wonder about the long-term stability and direction. Anyone else feel like they're just waiting for the next shoe to drop? The constant uncertainty is draining, and it makes it hard to invest fully when you feel like your role might be 'redundant' next quarter. Just a general feeling of unease, I guess.

Seattle Uber layoffs hit 93 folks. Anyone affected?

Just saw the WARN notice for Seattle - 93 employees affected by Uber layoffs on Nov 2nd. Feels like the cuts keep coming, just on a smaller scale now. Curious if anyone on here was part of this group or knows someone who was. How are people feeling about this? Is it specific teams, or a general downsize? Trying to get a sense of the impact beyond the numbers. It's tough seeing this happen again, especially for those directly impacted. Hang in there if you were one of the 93.

Reflecting on the Uber layoffs - what's next?

Okay, so the news dropped about the June 3rd layoffs at Uber. It's always a blow to the company morale, even if you're one of the ones who stayed. I'm trying to process the impact, not just on those who left, but on the rest of us. How does this change our day-to-day? Are workloads going to increase significantly? Are certain projects going to be de-prioritized? For those who were affected, I hope you're finding your feet. For those of us still here, it's a good time to take stock. Update the resume, network, and just be aware of the landscape. It feels like a constant cycle of hiring and then cutting in this industry. Curious to hear others' thoughts on how this affects the company's direction and our individual career paths moving forward.

I've been here a few years and this isn't the first time we've seen these kinds of numbers. It makes you wonder what's really going on behind the scenes. Are we heading for more? Is it a restructuring, a reaction to market conditions, or something else entirely? I'm trying to stay positive and focus on my work, but it's tough when there's this constant undercurrent of uncertainty. Just wanted to see if anyone else is feeling this way or has any insights into what might be driving these decisions. Trying to process it all, but it's a heavy topic.

Post-layoff blues at Uber - how are you coping?

The layoff on June 3rd definitely hit hard. Seeing colleagues and friends leave is never easy, and it's left a weird atmosphere. I'm personally feeling a bit of uncertainty about my role moving forward, even though I wasn't directly impacted. It's hard to stay motivated when you see so many talented people let go. How are others at Uber dealing with this? Are you looking for new opportunities already, or are you trying to stay positive and focus on the work? Any advice on navigating this period would be appreciated. It feels like we're all just trying to figure things out right now.

June 3rd Uber Layoffs: Impact on different teams?

Hey everyone, saw the news about the layoffs on June 3rd. Seems like it was a significant cut, around 6-7% according to some reports? I'm trying to get a sense of who was most affected. My team didn't see any direct impact, but the vibe is definitely a bit tense. Has anyone else experienced or heard about which departments took the biggest hit? Was it engineering, operations, marketing, or spread across the board? Trying to understand if this was a strategic shift or a broader cost-cutting measure.

Feeling the pressure after the recent Uber layoffs

This recent round of layoffs has definitely put a damper on things here at Uber. The official reasoning about 'necessary changes' feels a bit hollow when you see the impact. I've been with the company for a few years now, and while I know the market can be tough, it's hard not to feel a little insecure. I'm wondering what this means for our future projects and team stability. Are others feeling this increased pressure or uncertainty? Is this just a short-term adjustment, or are we looking at a longer period of 'efficiency' measures? Just looking to see if anyone else is sharing these feelings or has any perspective to offer.

Hey everyone, I'm still processing the news from June 3rd. It sounds like a pretty significant number of people were let go, and I'm trying to get a clearer picture of who was impacted.

Just got the dreaded notification today, June 3rd. My whole team is gone. Apparently, it's tied to the 'strategic realignment' for Q3. I'm still processing it all. Had no idea it was coming, and blindsided doesn't even begin to cover it. Feels like the rug was pulled out from under me. I've been putting in long hours and thought I was doing good work. Now I'm left scrambling. Has anyone else been affected by this round? Trying to connect with others who might be in the same boat. What's the plan now?

Uber's 'efficiency' drive: what's really going on?

Seeing the news about the latest cuts at Uber. It's the third time in as many years I've seen significant layoffs here. They always spin it as 'efficiency' or 'realigning resources,' but it feels more like a constant churn. I've been here for a while, and the job security has definitely eroded. The morale takes a hit every time. People start looking over their shoulders, and collaboration suffers. Is this 'leaner' model truly sustainable in the long run, or is it just setting us up for another crisis down the line? Feels like we're always in 'fix-it' mode instead of building and innovating with stability. Anyone else feel like this is just the new normal here?

The constant restructuring at Uber - is it sustainable?

Reading about the latest Uber layoffs, and it's becoming a pattern. They've been trimming down various departments for a while now, from Postmates integration to now the people division. While I understand businesses need to adapt, this feels like a constant state of flux. Are these strategic moves actually making the company stronger, or is it creating a culture of instability and fear? I'm starting to worry about the long-term impact on employee morale and retention. When will people feel secure? It's hard to invest your best work when you're constantly anticipating the next 'necessary change'. What are your thoughts on this cycle of layoffs?

Another round of cuts at Uber. Gutted.

So the news is out, Uber laid off more people today. Saw the qz.com article. This really sucks. It's hard not to take it personally when you see your colleagues let go. The uncertainty is the worst part. You start second-guessing everything, wondering if your role is safe, if the projects you're working on even matter in the long run. I've been with the company for a while and have always felt secure, but with these recent events, that feeling is definitely gone. It's a harsh reminder that no job is truly secure. I'm already updating my resume and networking, but man, it's a demoralizing process. Anyone else in the same boat or have advice on how to navigate this feeling?

Just saw the news about Uber cutting more employees. This is the second time in pretty quick succession. Feels like there's more going on than they're letting on. The official line is always about 'efficiency' or 'restructuring,' but when it keeps happening, you have to wonder about the actual business health or strategic direction. Are they over-hiring? Is the competition eating them up? I'm trying to stay positive and focus on my own work, but these recurring layoffs create a really tense atmosphere. Makes you question your own job security, even if you're not directly impacted. Anyone else feel like the transparency is lacking and we're just getting a watered-down version of what's actually happening?

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.

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 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?

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?

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.

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?

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.
