Nvidia employee says Jensen Huang personally approved his hire during pandemic freeze

A Nvidia employee shared that Jensen Huang personally approved his hire during the pandemic hiring freeze — one of just three such approvals, he was told. While he's never spoken with Huang, he calls him the best leader he's encountered.
Responding to calls for Huang's ouster, he argues that removing him would be "financial suicide" and suspects a hidden ulterior motive behind any attempt to destroy the company's value — a rare inside voice amid the CEO controversy.
