In the statement from the company reports that their rides business is continuously in loss because rides has been slashed down into half, so that they do not need more customer supports employees and let them free from work.

In a regulatory filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Uber said due to lower trip volumes in its rides segment and the company’s current hiring freeze, it is reducing its customer support and recruiting teams by approximately 3,700 full-time employee roles.

“With the reality of our rides trips volumes being down significantly, our need for communication operations, as well as in-person support, is down substantially. And with our hiring freeze, there simply isn’t enough work for recruiters,” the company’s CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said in a letter to staff.

Khosrowshahi also reached an agreement with Uber’s Board of Directors, effective May 2, to waive his base salary for the remainder of the year ending December 31, 2020.

However, employees are extremely disgruntled and undoubtedly angry at the short notice and how uber fires employees via zoom to 3,500 was extremely impersonal. The employees have reportedly received severance pay.

Now people want to know uber fires employees in which country but Uber hasn’t officially stated about employees of which countries had laid off.
