On Sept. 2–3, companies in the Information Technology sector disclosed layoffs and WARN notices that included a major restructuring at Uber Technologies, Inc., which reported cutting about 3,300 salaried positions worldwide and roughly 200 roles in India, according to contemporaneous media reports and WARN filings.

Reported layoffs

• Uber Technologies, Inc. — 3,300 (global). Multiple news outlets reported the company planned to eliminate roughly 3,300 roles, about 10% of its workforce, as part of a management overhaul to flatten reporting layers and reduce organizational complexity (The Business Journals; Fortune; Forbes; TheCable; Mathrubhumi English; Bloomberg.com; The Economic Times; TechCrunch; The American Bazaar; The Independent; eciks.org). Those reports indicate the reductions focus on management, deep reporting layers and small “micro-teams,” and apply to salaried positions but not to independent contractor drivers. Several outlets noted limits on fully remote roles and consolidation toward regional hubs.

• Uber Technologies, Inc. — 200 (India). Regional reporting by Inc42 and The Economic Times said Uber will cut roughly 200–250 jobs in India as part of the global restructuring, with local technology and operations teams particularly affected. Inc42 described the India reductions as the company’s second round in six months and said about half of the AI Solutions team was impacted.

• Uber Technologies, Inc. — 93. A WARN filing with state regulators lists 93 affected employees in a separate notice attributed to Uber, without additional public detail in the filing.

• Qualtrics LLC — 117 (Seattle). Per a WARN filing with state regulators, Qualtrics LLC recorded a workforce reduction affecting 117 employees tied to its Seattle operations. The filing provided no specific effective date, departmental breakdown or severance details.
