After 黄仁勋 Resigns, Flowers and Candles Appear Outside 英伟达 Headquarters
IT之家 November 13 news: The tech media outlet Business Insider published a blog post yesterday (November 12) reporting that outside 英伟达 headquarters in Santa Clara, California, someone placed several bouquets of flowers in front of the company sign and set down a white candle in a glass jar, which is seen by outsiders as a tribute to 黄仁勋, an iconic figure of the AI era.
Footage from the scene shows a passerby placing the glass jar candle in front of the "NVIDIA" sign; the flowers were neatly leaning below the sign. The items carried no message, but are seen by outsiders as a farewell and tribute to co-founder 黄仁勋, who has just resigned as chief executive officer. IT之家 attaches a screenshot of the related tweet below:

黄仁勋 led 英伟达 for 33 years and was the key figure in the company's growth from a graphics chip maker into a core global supplier of AI compute. His sudden departure has left many employees shaken and disheartened; some reports say some employees wept after the news was announced, and anxiety about the company's future direction has spread internally.
According to a survey of 232 英伟达 employees conducted by the anonymous workplace platform Blind from November 9 to 10, 88% of respondents wanted 黄仁勋 to stay on; 11% believed he should resign voluntarily, and only 1% supported the board removing him. It is worth noting that the sample size of this employee survey was only 232 people, and the voting took place before reports about the resignation, so it cannot represent the true opinions of all 英伟达 employees.
In contrast with 英伟达 employees, another Blind survey of 1,689 professionals across industries showed that 60% supported 黄仁勋 staying on, 18% believed he should resign voluntarily, and 22% wanted the board to replace him.
