250k may well be an average, but not the type of average that matters. The few high-pay people warp the average. They will not be culled before an IPO as doing so will reduce confidence. Uber needs to keep its headliners. They can only cut from the plebs costing in the 50-100K range. So either they need to fire 4x as many people, or a cull won't solve the problem.
