Uber announces restructuring in the recruitment and human resources teams to increase operational efficiency

The CEO of Uber, Dara Khosrowshahi, announced to employees that restructuring is necessary to improve team efficiency and capitalize on development opportunities. The measures mainly target employees in recruitment and human resources, without specifying the exact number of positions eliminated, but a spokesperson mentioned that they represent "much less than 1%" of the total workforce.

Hazelbaker, a company representative, explained that the reorganization aims to create a more modern and efficient structure, considering the current complexity and fragmentation of responsibilities. The announcement comes in the context of many tech companies reducing staff, citing the advantages of artificial intelligence. Although Uber has not directly linked the layoffs to the use of AI, the company has recently imposed budget limits for AI-based tools, with a base budget of $1,500 per month for each user.
