Uber is cutting approximately 3,300 jobs — about 10% of its global workforce — as part of a major restructuring announced on September 2, 2026.

Uber employees in Canada are affected. Samfiru Tumarkin LLP is already speaking with Canadian Uber employees who have been terminated and received severance packages. Uber has not publicly disclosed how many Canadian employees are affected by this round of cuts.

If you received an Uber severance package, don’t sign it simply because you’ve been given a deadline. Getting the offer reviewed is a simple first step to find out whether the package is fair.

Uber Job Cuts At A Glance

What Happened At Uber?

Uber announced a roughly 10% reduction in its global workforce on September 2, 2026.

CEO Dara Khosrowshahi told employees that Uber is removing management layers, simplifying teams and concentrating more roles in key office hubs. The company said the changes are intended to create clearer ownership, faster decision-making and more capacity to invest in growth.

Uber said affected employees had already been notified, except in countries where local requirements mean a different process must be followed.

Who Is Affected By The Uber Job Cuts?

Approximately 3,300 Uber roles are being eliminated globally.

The restructuring includes reductions in management and coordination roles, as well as changes to team structures and where employees are located. Uber has not published a complete country-by-country breakdown of the cuts.

What Do The Uber Job Cuts Mean For Canadian Employees?

Canadian Uber employees are among those affected by the current restructuring.

Samfiru Tumarkin LLP is already speaking with Uber employees in Canada who have lost their jobs and received severance packages. Uber has not publicly disclosed the total number of Canadian positions affected.

If you are a non-unionized Uber employee in Canada who loses your job, your severance can depend on factors such as your age, length of service, position and compensation. The minimum amount required by employment standards law is not necessarily your full severance, and some employees can receive as much as 24 months of compensation.

You don’t need to calculate that amount yourself. The important thing is to have the offer reviewed before you sign it.

What Should Affected Uber Employees Do?

Don’t sign an Uber severance package until you know whether the offer is fair.

Get the termination and severance offer in writing and have the package reviewed before accepting a release. Getting answers about your severance does not mean committing yourself to a lawsuit or a long legal battle.
