Maybe they should form some sort of collective bargaining association that could leverage their popular demands if that was really the case.
How many of those employees are his girlfriend?
Yes.
Dude was playing the long game
Next we find out he slept with half the shareholders
I think you mean how many of those employees have Nvidia stock? 'Cause it has CRASHED!
They are likely scared because most of them have stock options no doubt. Huang was a rarity - a CEO who was also an engineer who understood chip making so he was uniquely fit for the job. He was also with the company it’s entire existence. He clearly could not handle being launched into tech bro stardom in recent years and made dumb fucking choices. Not to mention any new guy will likely be more willing to make cuts should the stock take further hits from this scandal.

Stupid choices, yes, but nothing to do with stardom. China was 20% of their business until the ban. And number must go up. Assisted by the government who also wanted number to go up.
The affairs were ego but the treason was just good ol capitalism.
He could have done the backroom deals without flaunting a hook up. Or hooking up with his subordinates. He probably would’ve got away with it a lot longer had he not done the dumb shit. That’s what I meant by tech bro stardom.
The hookup is irrelevant. It’s not what broke the story.
This was getting reported on a year ago…ask yourself what happened recently that night cause it to come out now
How much of the petition is digital? I wouldn’t trust them not to just use one of their toys to spoof a list of heartfelt demands
Great stuff here: https://lemmy.ml/post/55238566
Ew, slop
NVidia doesn’t actually make chips, it’s a design shop with TSMC fabbing the silicon. So you’re looking at a wider selection of people who ran big ASIC and CPU design groups. There’s one of those inside Intel, which also does fabrication. Apple, Qualcomm, and others similarly. AMD even (Huang is distantly related to Lisa Su). An AMD-NVidia merger could be a thing of fanfiction if NVidia wasn’t already in enough antitrust trouble. Maybe Huang and Su could even swap places, lol.

They’re first cousins, once removed.
I know they don’t make them. I was saying knowing how the chips are manufactured at the engineering level to make sure suppliers are doing things properly is not a skill most CEOs have.
Yeah it’s a niche specialty but Huang isn’t unique in the world in terms of doing that stuff. If I were recruiting his replacement I’d consider hunting the AI teams at Google, Facebook, etc. rather than chip fab stuff.
Yeah, I saw a news clip showing flowers outside the HQ and what appeared to be crying employees…
How many are in the gaming division which is just a tiny blip in terms of revenue? A new CEO could very well abandon that market to focus on more profitable areas.
You can’t fix stupid.
