Uber employees are circulating a petition to reinstate Travis Kalanick as chief executive, two days after his resigned following months of scrutiny.
Managers are sending the petition to employees, according to sources at the company and a screenshot provided to BuzzFeed News. "Uber is TK and TK is Uber," the note reads, referring to Kalanick's internal nickname.
"TK, no matter his flaws (everyone has them) was one of the best leaders I have seen," the email continues.
The email also said employees should contact Uber board members Arianna Huffington and Garrett Camp, as well as former member Bill Gurley, to let them know they are unhappy that Kalanick resigned.
“A lot of people are extremely loyal to and in the cult of personality he had," one engineer told BuzzFeed News.
Another employee told BuzzFeed News the petition was "ridiculous," and that "TK knew there were cultural problems and ignored it." Asked if this employee would sign the petition, the person said "hell no."
Kalanick's resignation came one week after he said he would take a leave of absence and return as “Travis 2.0 to become the leader that this company needs and that you deserve.”
An Uber spokesman did not immediately return a request for comment.
