Not surprised given Uber's profitability issues. Never work for a company that doesn't make money.
Rip
More will come
Fuck that sucks...
Which teams?
Article says eats and freight didn't have any layoffs
I wonder if ATG was affected
Wonder if Lyft will follow
No wonder they are going down. Just yesterday I tried to use Uber after a long time. To my surprise it no longer changes credit card directly. You have to first “fund” their account with some amount and only then you can request a ride. I mean WTF!? I installed Lyft and worked without such annoyance.
I can’t even use Uber since I used a credit card for it and didn’t pay the invoice on time or something. I started using Lyft. They really should’ve kept TK
Why couldn’t they move those engineers to Freight?
some will be absorbed by freight. but freight itself cant suddenly double in size without becoming too inefficient or redundant.
Press F to pay respects
A
F!
