While horrible, what do you expect from a company that treated its drivers so horribly. Ofcourse the rank and file uber employee never thought it would ever happen to them. I hope the people losing their jobs bounce back soon but learn their lesson to not join a place that shows such menial corporate governance. Ironic from a person who works at Amazon I know but I'm speaking from experience and about to bounce from this place myself. This pandemic has revealed many true colors.
Was gonna say, "wait, you work for Amazon"...
Just got layed off
Same 😩
I'm so sorry to hear that. Let this sink in, look at it as a blessing that you are freed from a toxic place you probably would have left anyway if you survived the layoff. Take the time when recovered to find a job in a place that is worth your best and deserves you.

Dara is also shutting down AI and self-driving? What’s the long term plan for Uber going forward?
No plan. Thry will outsource all to overseas for cheap labor
What about Freight? I’m currently in the process of h1b visa transfer and expected to join it in about a month.
Run away
Why would one leave G for Uber in the middle of a pandemic?
Sucks for those affected. Can’t imagine the stress that those at Uber are going through. Hopefully you all will find a better opportunity and land on your feet soon. 😕 Just wondering how many engineers and what groups are impacted?
It’s a gig economy, like kids working at Mac Donald’s. It does not last forever.
Yeah I know. Good times never last.
