Uber Khosrowshahi: workers have “many opportunities” elsewhere

Dara Khosrowshahi from Uber fully agrees with employees who do not agree with him who wanted to skip the ship.

Khosrowshahi recently brought a series of changes that could rub some workers in the wrong direction. He wants business employees to return to the office at least three days a week, asks the distant workers to return to the office and extend the number of years that people have to work before being offered a paid sabbatical leave.

In an interview with CNBC on Wednesday, Khosrowshahi said that these changes could postpone certain employees, but they are lucky.

“The good news is that the economy is still very strong. The labor market is strong,” he said. “The people who work at Uber, they have a lot of opportunities everywhere.”

Cutting his comments, Khosrowshahi said that the company would, of course, be the employees to stay, but that the changes remain.

“We want this to take advantage of it, of course, to take the opportunity to learn,” added Khosrowshahi.

“We want more people in the office,” said Khosrowshahi, adding that revised policy gives employees the flexibility to work at home two days a week, Monday and Friday.

“It is a good mix to give your employees flexibility, but also to bring them to the office for these very important teamwork tasks,” he said.

A Uber spokesperson said that changes were not linked to the dismissals provided or intended to stimulate attrition. From June, employees should work in the office three days a week.

Large technological companies have reduced or revised various benefits in recent years.

Recent changes in Amazon’s structure of remuneration, for example, reward the most efficient employees and reduce what some unaccomplayed workers earn.

Recently, however, some technology leaders have given their staff the choice to “do not agree and engage” in the changes or to leave the company.

Meta technology director Andrew Bosworth told employees that it was their choice after the company returned the diversity, equity and inclusion programs and said that it would reduce its unprofisondible employees.

There have also been several series of layoffs in large technological companies. Some companies, such as Microsoft, explicitly carried out job shortcuts according to professional performance.
