Perhaps. But obviously they'd want to make this appear as the "final" wave to not overly-agitate existing employees. It'll be interesting to see how this quarter's earnings go (especially since the lockup expires in Nov). If the market reacts poorly, expect additional cost cuts.

No, that would erode trust. Saying "this is the final wave", and following that up with a fourth wave of layoffs would be even worse for employee agitation, and have a worse long-term effect. I doubt Uber management is that dumb.
So you think there will NEVER be another waves of layoffs? This is obviously a statement they needed to make in order to calm down the current employees.
> I doubt Uber management is that dumb.

Should we tell him?

No. Do you really think they can promise anything? It will depends on the direction of the Stock in the next month.
