Nvidia Employees Urge Jensen Huang's Return in 1,600-Comment Petition After Resignation

Summary
More than 1,600 comments have piled onto an internal Nvidia suggestion-box post urging the board to consider employee sentiment, with many asking directors to bring Jensen Huang back after his abrupt resignation.
Employees also pushed publicly and internally: about two dozen posted support on LinkedIn, and one staffer sent a companywide email demanding transparency into why Huang left before any board investigation was completed.
Huang, 63, admitted in a Sunday email that he had been unfaithful to his wife; the resignation followed reports of multiple affairs, including one with a direct report and another with a suspected Chinese intelligence asset.
The board named CFO Colette Kress interim CEO and investor Harvey Jones chair, but the fallout has already erased about $1 trillion in market value and triggered scrutiny from US lawmakers and the FBI.
