Nvidia employees call for Jensen Huang to be reinstated after his resignation

Support among Nvidia employees for reinstating Jensen Huang has grown swiftly after his resignation, driven by an internal company post that has attracted more than 1,600 comments in favor of his return.

The thread was started by a long‑time engineer before Huang stepped down, asking the board to take employees' views into account before making a final decision. After Huang's departure on 12 November, supportive messages multiplied.

Calls for clarity and second chances

One employee wrote, "If you believe in the company's mission, bring the boss back." Others argued that everyone errs and that, given what he has done for the company, Huang deserved a second chance. Several staff members also urged management to explain the circumstances surrounding his exit.

Huang resigned on 12 November following revelations about extramarital affairs and reports alleging that one of the women had links to Chinese intelligence services. He has admitted being unfaithful to his wife, while the additional allegations remain the subject of investigations and media reporting.

The move has injected uncertainty into Nvidia, the company Huang founded in 1993 and steered for more than three decades and which became a major engine of global AI development. Colette Kress, the company's chief financial officer, was named interim CEO while the board searches for a permanent successor; so far there is no sign the board is considering Huang's return.
