Nvidia Employees Petition Board to Restore Jensen Huang
Nvidia staff members have submitted internal correspondence urging the board to reinstate CEO Jensen Huang following his resignation amid personal allegations.
Internal Calls for Leadership Return
An anonymous engineer posted a suggestion in an internal box asking the board to consider employee sentiment before acting. This post gathered over 1,600 comments from staff who want Huang back as their leader. One commenter wrote that if people believe in the mission, they should bring back THE boss. Another staffer sent a companywide email demanding transparency regarding his sudden exit from the role.
Board Actions and Market Impact
The board announced Huang's resignation on Thursday morning after reports of alleged affairs with employees and intelligence assets. They named Colette Kress as interim CEO and appointed Harvey Jones as the new chair of the board. Since the allegations surfaced, the company has lost $1 trillion in market value according to recent data. Investigations from US lawmakers and the FBI have also begun while export controls on chips become a prospect.
Staff Reactions Remain Divided
About two dozen employees posted support for Huang on LinkedIn within hours of his departure announcement. Conversely, WIRED could not identify any posts from Nvidia staff supporting his resignation during that same period. Many workers expected the board investigation to conclude before major changes would occur inside the organization. Staffers now seek better understanding of why the inquiry ended without a formal conclusion.
