Uber will cut 390 positions across California, with the bulk of those losses concentrated at its two San Francisco office locations, according to state employment records filed this week.
The ride-hailing giant disclosed 253 layoffs at its headquarters campus on 3rd Street. Separate notices show another 137 roles disappearing from Sunnyvale offices. These filings with California’s Employment Development Department mark the latest wave in a broader restructuring.
This month, Uber announced plans to eliminate roughly 10% of its global workforce. The company employed about 34,000 people worldwide at the end of 2025, per its annual SEC filing. Additional local job cuts may still surface, as the company has not signaled whether all reductions have been reported.
Chief Executive Dara Khosrowshahi framed the overhaul as an effort to strip out management layers and streamline operations. Resources, he said, would shift toward growth initiatives.
Meanwhile, Uber is also rewriting its workplace rules. Most remote staff will soon face a mandate to report to offices in major hubs like San Francisco and New York. Only about 1% of employees will retain fully remote status.
As a result, the company’s Bay Area footprint faces both immediate job losses and a longer-term consolidation around its core urban centers. The restructuring signals a strategic pivot toward fewer, denser offices even as headcount shrinks.
