Uber employees describe the abrupt way the company laid off 400 people in more than a dozen countries this week

Affected employees were told of the changes in an email early Monday from Jill Hazelbaker, the company's head of communications. That was followed by an online meeting for those in satellite offices, workers told Business Insider.

"She didn't say thank you, she just kind of left," the attendee, who asked to remain anonymous for fear of retaliation by Uber, said of Hazelbaker's remarks."A lot of people felt like it was a bloodbath. You didn't get a personalized message from your manager or HR partner or anybody." To be sure, all fired employees had individual meetings with human resources representatives, the sources said.Uber lost 2 board members, including Arianna Huffington, an ally of ousted founder Travis Kalanick

Going forward, the marketing team will report to two senior leaders, a company spokesperson said. One will handle performance marketing, CRM, and analytics, while the other yet-to-be-named manager will handle product marketing, brand, Eats, and more.: early investor Matt Cohler and Ariana Huffington, an ally of ousted founder Travis Kalanick.

I also want to be clear that we are not making these changes because Marketing has become less important to Uber. The exact opposite is true: we are making these changes because presenting a powerful, unified, and dynamic vision to the world has never been more important. Under Jill's leadership, Marketing will soon be operating at full strength.
