As part of a “plan of termination,” San Francisco ride-hailing giant Lyft will lay off 982 workers to cut costs amid damage from the coronavirus pandemic, the company said in a regulatory filing Wednesday.
The employees to be laid off amount to 17% of Lyft’s workforce, it said in the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Lyft does not classify its army of drivers as employees.
