Uber首席执行官Dara Khosrowshahi在在10月15日的一封电子邮件中对员工说，Uber刚刚裁员了组织内各个团队的约350名员工，这是该公司今年初开始的裁员的第三阶段也是最后一个阶段。
受影响的人员包括来自Uber Eats，绩效营销，Advanced Technologies Group和HR的员工，以及全球平台部门的各个团队。同时还要求一些员工重新选择工作地点。
Khosrowshahi在电子邮件中写道：
“今天对于我们所有人来说都是艰难的日子，而ELT和我将竭尽所能，确保我们将不会再有这样的日子发生。”
“我们所有人都必须在工作方式上建立新的标准：识别和消除重复的工作，坚持高绩效标准，提供直接反馈，并在未达到期望的情况下采取行动，消除官僚主义倾向随着公司的成长而蔓延。”
优步发言人说：裁员总数约占公司的1％。
这是在是在Uber裁员其产品和工程团队的435名员工一个月后，以及Uber从其营销团队裁掉约400名员工不到三个月之后的第三次裁员。
到今天为止，Uber的大多数部门都受到裁员的影响。
对于Uber的自动驾驶汽车部门来说，这是自从今年早些时候分拆成为独立的部门以来的第一轮裁员。优步此前曾表示，该团队由1200多人组成，而如今，尽管裁员，但员工总数仍超过1200。根据优步发言人的说法。根据ATG在四月份进行的10亿美元融资的条款，该部门的资产后价值为72.5亿美元。
在这一轮裁员中受影响的人中有70％以上来自美国和加拿大，其余人员则相对均匀地分布在亚太地区，拉丁美洲和欧洲，中东和非洲地区。优步在15号早上通知了受影响的人。
“正如您所知，在过去的几个月中，我们的领导者仔细检查了他们的团队，以确保我们的组织结构能够在未来几年取得成功，” Khosrowshahi写给员工。“这导致了困难而必要的变化，以确保我们在适当的位置以适当的角色担任适当的人员，并且始终使自己对最高绩效负责。”
在2019年第二季度，Uber亏损超过50亿美元，是迄今为止最大的季度收入损失，尽管其部分亏损是由于该公司在5月份进行首次公开募股后基于股票的员工薪酬支出所致。
Uber将于11月4日公布其第三季度收益。该公司目前的股价为每股31.26美元，远低于其45美元的发行价。
以下是Khosrowshahi的完整电子邮件，主题为“Stronger moving forward”：
Team Uber,
As you know, over the past few months, our leaders have looked carefully at their teams to ensure our organizations are structured for success for the next few years. This has resulted in difficult but necessary changes to ensure we have the right people in the right roles in the right locations, and that we’re always holding ourselves accountable to top performance.
Today is the last wave of a process we began months ago with our Marketing team, and more recently, with our Product and Engineering teams. This time, ATG, Eats, Global Rides and Platform (Rides Ops, CommOps, Safety & Insurance, U4B, and Product Ops), Performance Marketing, and Recruiting have made changes. As part of this exercise, some of our employees are being asked to relocate, and around 350 will be leaving the company.
Days like today are tough for us all, and the ELT and I will do everything we can to make certain that we won’t need or have another day like this ahead of us. We all have to play a part by establishing a new normal in how we work: identifying and eliminating duplicate work, upholding high standards for performance, giving direct feedback and taking action when expectations aren’t being met, and eliminating the bureaucracy that tends to creep as companies grow.
We have proven ourselves to be not only one of the most ambitious and innovative companies in the world, but also one of the most resilient. We’ve always pushed through tough times and come out the other side a better and stronger company—that will continue to be true tomorrow, and every day after.
As always, we’ll be at the All Hands tomorrow and will dedicate most of the time to answer your questions. Add yours to the slido here.
Eyes forward—back to building.
Dara
