Uber's CEO Dara Khosrowshahi announced to employees today that the company will lay off other 3,000 employees and close 45 offices globally.

“I knew that I had to make a hard decision, not because we are a public company, or to protect our stock price, or to please our Board or investors,” Khosrowshahi wrote in a memo to employees.

The announcement comes just days after the company stated it would cut 3,700 jobs in its customer service and recruiting departments.
