Uber's CEO Dara Khosrowshahi faced significant employee pushback over new policy changes announced at an all-hands meeting. Starting in June, employees will need to work three days in-office instead of two, and the eligibility criteria for their paid sabbatical will extend from five to eight years. Amid protests, Khosrowshahi defended the changes, indicating they were made for the companyâs benefit despite expected unpopularity. This friction reflects a broader trend in the tech industry, where post-pandemic shifts are causing tensions over workplace expectations and benefit reductions.
Khosrowshahi acknowledged the unpopular nature of the changes, stating, 'We recognize some of these changes are going to be unpopular with folks. This is a risk we decided to take.'
