Jensen Huang Resignation Gets No Backing From Nvidia Staff

Not one Nvidia worker has supported the Jensen Huang resignation, a new report says. Staff comments flooded an internal portal, with many asking the board to bring the founder back.

Nvidia employees have not backed the Jensen Huang resignation, according to a report by tech outlet Wired. The outlet pointed to a petition on the company’s internal portal. Not one worker there supported his exit over the espionage scandal.

Nvidia Confirms the Leadership Shake-Up

On Thursday, the graphics chip maker announced that founder Jensen Huang was leaving his posts as president and chief executive. The move follows a scandal over his close ties with Alice Huang. She is allegedly a source of information for China.

Engineer Urges the Board to Listen

Before Huang stepped down, a longtime engineer posted in the section for employee suggestions. The engineer asked the board to weigh the views of the workforce before making any decisions. Since then, the post has drawn more than 1,600 comments.

“If you believe in our mission, bring our boss back,” one employee wrote anonymously.

“We are all human and can make mistakes. Jensen has done so much good, he deserves a second chance,” another said.

No Comment Supports the Exit

The report adds that Wired found no comment from Nvidia staff in favor of the Jensen Huang resignation. Meanwhile, China’s Foreign Ministry dismissed the claims of Chinese espionage in the Nvidia case as groundless.
