1000+ Uber employees want Travis back

It's pretty clear to me that having Travis involved in some capacity going forward is in the best interest of long-term shareholder value.

How could you not believe this? Founders and long-time CEO's have so much knowledge and company/industry specific experience -- much of which will be useful and some of which is undoubtedly not replaceable.

IMO, anyone who thinks this would not be a good move for the company is being blinded by hate.

Sure, we can debate whether his return is good for society but for the company? No question.

The real question is whether Travis wants to help in this capacity anymore.

So we should forget about whether its good for the world and just focus on shareholder value? And i suppose you will go on to justify it by citing benefits of more money for shareholders, better company, perfect economic systems and efficient services etc.

I think thats a horrible idea. The real question IS whether we should reward companies that get ahead by ANY means necessary and their leaders. We should not.
