Uber is planning to lay off about 10% of its employees worldwide as part of major changes in how the company operates. The CEO, Dara Khosrowshahi, explained that this decision is meant to make the company more efficient and quicker in making decisions. Currently, Uber has around 34,000 employees and works in over 70 countries. The goal of these layoffs is to simplify the organization, which has become quite large and complicated. By reducing the workforce, Uber hopes to improve clarity in responsibilities and speed up decision-making. In addition to the layoffs, Uber is also shutting down its services in Nigeria and Uganda, following its earlier exit from Tanzania. This reflects the company's ongoing adjustments in different markets. Uber, known for changing the way people use transportation, has also faced criticism from drivers regarding their pay.
