Good, bad or ugly. Is Dara trying to get rid of competition or all the laggards? What's is the inside story?
DK clearing up the COO role for himself and getting ready to be superpumped for return of TK
I don't think TK is coming back. I doubt if he even has board control.
That would be hard then specially now that Uber is a public company. Dara's deal with SoftBank effectively killed TK's chance of a return.
I did not like the tone in his email. Sounded quite self centered. Maybe there is more to it, but the email reads "I used to need you guys but not as much going forward. So you should just leave NOW, not before and not after".
Sounds like those two are taking the fall for the mediocre IPo
I interpret that as a signal from the board to demand Dara hold accountable for the company’s performance. Get hands dirty and be part of daily execution. Uber never need COO which was a thing to try to limit Travis. Barney to Dara? We don’t see much value.
It's a dog eat dog world. Is Dara a rational leader?
I think it's good. Just streamlining the business may be.
