The media assassination continues.. i don’t care at all if Jensen cursed at some execs, that comes with the territory. The “spy” allegations have already been walked back as being bullshit.
Remember like 3 days ago they openly lied saying the Singapore government suspected Alice Huang was a spy until the government themselves responded saying they had never given any statement at all to the media and that she was not suspected of anything. Now we have some anonymous stories about tantrums. Until proven, i assume all these stories are just more bullshit.
There have been multiple reports for years that he’s a jerk manager often spun as bluntness or some kind of decisive leadership by people selling themselves as objective journalists.
What should be criticized is this endless cycle of hagiographic behavior of people in seemingly profitable companies of business journalism followed by a wave of attacks when they fall from grace. This is just CYA, they are directly part of the same process that lead them to be seemingly untouchable. Then reporting as if this was all so very shocking behavior.
I think one can say that both Hwang is clearly caught in some kind of some kind of turf war in the Trump administration, and when combined with his own failures and hubris, made him extremely exposed. I would not be surprised if it whoever was triggering this did not intend to cause him to be removed as NVIDIA CEO.
Steve Jobs did similar things and was at many times much worse. Yet all of this is orthogonal to his achievement of turning apple into what it is today.
Same with Jensen.
It was always clear the affairs were a cover story. Now it’s also clear why the board used that cover story to get rid of him. A lot of them didn’t like him personally.
> If you’re an NVIDIA executive you’re being paid more than enough to get yelled at by the CEO.
And this, folks, is Silicon Valley sociopathy for you.
Everything is about money. You can do anything to make it, and when you have enough, you can treat others any way you please because, if they want to make money, they should be willing to endure your aggression and humiliation.
Accountability has nothing to do with Silicon Valley or money generally, that's the way hierarchies work everywhere. If you're so sheltered that you are genuinely surprised by this or have never been exposed to it then that's unfortunate for you.
It's hilarious you're trying to tell me I don't understand the way the world works, and suggesting I'm sheltered. Meanwhile, you're the one who is complaining about Jensen's self-inflicted downfall and hoping for his reinstatement.
Maybe it's you who doesn't understand the way the world works?
The reality is that you can be king but if you're careless with your kingdom, you'll lose it. Tale as old as time.
Forget trying to talk sense into these people.
Same with the ones in this thread blaming journalists now for Huang’s downfall.
They don’t want to see what they don’t want to see.
You only defend this kind of behaviour if you think likewise, that it’s some kind of leadership privilege to treat your employees as mental fuckpuppets to satisfy your psychopathic egocentric needs.
And I think it’s established by now that Jensen Huang is a piece of shit. And according to people around him, he called himself exactly that in this whole process multiple times. So he himself knows what he is.
Idiots like the one you argue with here come with the territory, as these idiots would say.
Personal cult followers most likely heavily invested financially and therefore dependent on sucking billionaire dick. Pathetic.
You are right.
A job is being paid for contractually agreed work between two parties for a limited amount of time. I have never seen a contract in my life where it is part of the contractual obligations to accept that your superior is wishing death upon you in front of everyone.
I’ve watched someone learn this lesson the hard way though. Worked McDonalds shifts with 16 in the summer and the manager was the same kind of cockroach as Jensen.
My co-worker went to jail for five years because he told the manager twice to stop being abusive, the third time he said to him "or what”, he got his head put into the industrial fryer.
He yelled and screamed and rolled on the floor and nobody called an ambulance immediately. One of his eyes popped and he got a really pretty face now, getting treated the same way he did to his employees by the same kind of assholes who call him an abomination now.
Choices have consequences, if you choose to fuck the staff in front of your kids, basically, as both of them were working at Nvidia on the same floor, or terrorise the staff, don’t expect to be treated like a saint or valued because you generated some digital ones and zeros.
Never take abuse from anyone, especially at work.
If they don’t stop, cause IRREPERABLE damage to them.
Doesn’t need to be violence, you just need to be the first to publicly speak up and show everyone you don’t need to be afraid to do the same, that’s exactly what happens here.
Now that Jensen can no longer cause damage to people at Nvidia that would speak up, the avalanche of anecdotes about him being a piece of shit is just the natural response of what happens when a tyrant loses his control over the people and his personal humble dishwasher narrative.
It's hilarious to see ostensibly "intelligent" people in the tech industry turn to conspiracy theories and try to turn Jensen into a victim.
While there's no doubt that there are political elements to this story because Nvidia is at the center of great power competition, the bottom line is that Jensen slept with a woman who might have been a Chinese spy who it seems was likely smuggling Nvidia chips to China, slept with a direct report, and apparently slept with at least one other Nvidia employee.
It's not hard to understand why all of these stories are coming out now: before his world collapsed due to his own actions, Jensen was one of the wealthiest and most influential people in the world. He was protected by his money and status.
Now that he is no longer protected, people can come out and speak the truth without fearing retaliation.
The bottom line is the real Jensen apparently didn't match his carefully-cultivated public image and he wasn't humble enough to heed the advice, "be careful how you treat people on the way up, because you may meet them on the way down."

Couldn’t care less. If you’re an NVIDIA executive you’re being paid more than enough to get yelled at by the CEO.
Huang got results and we are all worse off with him not at the helm, and I mean that both in economic and technological terms.
Hope he somehow gets reinstated.

Was GP surprised by it or unaware that this is how it works in many places?

Soooo… a carefully-curated “humble guy” public persona papering over an arrogant asshole who is inordinately sensitive to criticism and snowflake-y.
Colour me surprised. It seems to be the default config for most any techbro.
