Uber is updating its workplace policies, requiring employees to work from the office at least three times a week starting in June.
The company is also adjusting its sabbatical policy, extending the eligibility for a paid month-long sabbatical to employees with eight years of service instead of five.
During an all-hands meeting, employees expressed frustration over the sudden policy changes, particularly around returning to the office and revised sabbatical requirements.
Uber's leadership defended the changes, highlighting the importance of in-person collaboration and business alignment, while emphasizing that these updates are not cost-cutting measures.
