Ex-Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang resigned from the company after he admitted to an affair on Sunday, and allegations of a second affair came out on Wednesday. Now there are reports of a potential third. Though CTO Colette Kress has taken over in the interim, Nvidia seems to be shopping around for its next CEO, much to the dismay of some Nvidia staff, according to a report from Wired.
It's claimed that a longtime engineer at Nvidia took to an internal suggestion box this week to ask the Nvidia board to consider the company's employees before deciding whether or not to get rid of Huang. This note was made prior to his resignation.
However, over 1,600 comments have been left regarding this suggestion, the majority of which are apparently supportive of Huang. One says, "If you believe in the mission, bring back THE boss."
Another claims, "We are all humans and can make mistakes. Jensen did so many good things and he needs a second chance."
Notably, not all employees took to the suggestion box to air the same sentiment. One sent an email to the entire company saying, “I stand by Jensen. Not because I believe any person is infallible, but because I refuse to believe that standing for fairness must mean standing at a distance from someone whose leadership has meant so much to us.”
That email continues, “If America fails the man who helped build its future, then this world does not deserve Jensen Huang.”
Jensen Huang's role in Nvidia can't be overstated. As the co-founder of the company, and President and CEO since 1993, he has no doubt been instrumental in its success. And business has been booming for the graphics card company-turned-AI company over the last few years.
