🌎 Multiple locations ∙ 👩 3,000 employees (13%) ∙ 🖥 All departments

On Monday, Uber laid off 3,000 additional employees on top of the 3,700 employees cut two weeks ago. In a memo to the team, Uber’s CEO alluded to the creation of a public alumni talent directory as part of the company’s efforts to support departing employees.

That Uber alumni directory is now live. Similar to the official Airbnb layoff list, Uber’s version allows recruiters and hiring managers to filter laid-off employees by location and role. Additional details include whether the person is open to relocation and/or remote work, and any experience managing people.

🌎 San Francisco Bay Area ∙ 👩 35 employees (15%) ∙ 🖥 Engineering

Ridecell, an operations platform for ride-sharing companies, laid off 35 employees (15%) last Thursday, according to a laid-off employee. Its customers are presumably struggling right now due to the nationwide lockdowns.

Ridecell joins the many transportation startups that have conducted layoffs during the coronavirus pandemic. Just yesterday, Uber increased the count of its May layoffs to 6,700 employees. Lyft laid off nearly 1,000 employees in late April. Kid-friendly ride sharing companies Zum and HopSkipDrive have also done layoffs.

Cadre, an online marketplace for commercial real estate investments, laid off 28 employees (25%) last week.

Uber

Uber lays off 3,000 more employees, on top of the 3,700 laid off earlier this month

Layoff list, Layoff news, ,

🌎 SF Bay Area ∙ 👩 3,000 employees (13%) ∙ 🖥 All departments

As Layoffs.fyi forecasted last week, Uber laid off 3,000 more employees this morning. This comes on top of the 3,700 employees Uber cut two weeks ago, and brings the total to 6,700 laid off (25% of staff).

In conjunction with the layoff, Uber is also closing down 45 offices, winding down its product incubator and AI labs, pursuing strategic alternatives for Uber Works, and re-evaluating its self-driving units.

Nationwide shelter-in-place orders have hammered Uber’s ridesharing business. Its core business has fallen around 80% during the pandemic. Meanwhile, growth from Uber’s food delivery business has not been enough to offset the decline.

Uber previously told staff that laid-off employees would receive 10 weeks of severance pay and healthcare coverage through the end of 2020.

In addition to the 6,700 employees let go by Uber this month, the company has also cut 536 employees from Middle East subsidiary Careem, as well as all 400-500 employees from e-scooter subsidiary Jump.

See link below 👇for an existing unofficial list of 400+ employees laid off from Uber, mostly from the May 5 layoff. Expect this list to grow a lot bigger in the coming days.

UPDATE: An official Uber layoff list has been created. Added link below.

It had 2,000 clients tied to universities, which have been shutting down operations due to COVID-19.

🌎 SF Bay Area, NYC, Chicago, Phoenix ∙ 👩 3,700 employees (14%) ∙ 🖥 Customer support, recruiting

Uber, the ridesharing service, laid off 3,700 employees (14%) last Wednesday. The layoff was concentrated in the company’s customer support and recruiting teams. Uber CEO’s letter to staff strongly hinted that more cuts are coming in the next week, including in engineering and product.

The Information reported that as many as 5,400 employees are expected to ultimately be laid off. However, one source tells Layoffs.fyi the total count could be as high as 6,700. In addition, 400-500 employees are reportedly being cut from Uber’s subsidiary Jump, which is being offloaded to Lime as part of Uber’s investment in the electric scooter company.

Kabbage

Ex-Kabbage layoff spreadsheet lists over 100 employees

Layoff list, , ,

🌎 Atlanta, New York City ∙ 👩 Unknown # of employees ∙ 🖥 All departments

In late March, small business lending startup Kabbage furloughed a “significant number” of its 500 employees. It also shut down its Bangalore office. Hoping to use furloughs as a way of avoiding permanent layoffs, Kabbage had intended to bring back the affected employees once business conditions improved.

With the coronavirus pandemic continuing to decimate the economy, it’s unclear when that will happen. One source told Layoffs.fyi that the furloughs would last at least 2 months (through end of May). Another thought it was unlikely Kabbage would ever bring the furloughed employees back.

A Google spreadsheet called “Kabbagers for hire” has been circulating with over 100 names. See link below 👇if you’re hiring in Atlanta or New York City.

A maker of HR and payroll software, Namely laid off 110 employees earlier this month. The company noted that its SMB customers have been downsizing as a result of the pandemic. This has led to lower revenue for Namely, which makes money in part via a per-employee monthly fee.
