About

Uber is laying off approximately 200 employees at its European headquarters in Amsterdam, representing 15% of the office's 1,500-person workforce. This move, announced to staff on a Friday, is part of the company's broader response to the dramatic impact of the coronavirus pandemic, which has severely reduced demand for taxi services. The decision aligns with Uber's global restructuring announced in May, which included cutting 25% of its worldwide workforce (6,700 jobs) and closing 45 regional offices. Affected Amsterdam employees will receive a severance package, and the company has opted not to seek Dutch government salary support. Despite the cuts, Uber's plans to relocate its Amsterdam office to the Zuidas business district remain unchanged.
