It does seem like it's adding up that way. Heck, it may be the best move for him financially. He has roughly 10% of Uber shares , and if his resignation make the route to an IPO easier and removes some downward pressure on the resulting price...
Put your prediction on PredictionBook? It's a great way to keep track of your predictions, and learn to be calibrated (e.g. to have about 80% of your predictions-of-80%-likelihood be correct, which doesn't come naturally to people).
> Kalanick quickly apologized for his words and admitted, for the first time, that he needs to “grow up.”
I see the board using that statement against him.
I expect the board are the ones that said exactly that phrase to him. Seemingly he remembered.
Maybe. I'm just thinking the board cannot support a CEO of a $70B firm whose personal assessment of himself is he needs to grow up. It also provides the perfect excuse to remove him, the major obstacle to Uber's IPO.
