The majority of Uber’s investors may have wanted its co-founder and chief executive, Travis Kalanick, out, but some employees of the ride-hailing company are already calling for his return. News site Axios reported Thursday that some 1,000 employees had signed the petition. “Whether it’s autonomous vehicles, trucking, flying cars, that’s the stuff that I think you really need Travis for,” Tusk said. “Travis gave more to this company than anyone,” they said in a statement sent to employees. In less than 12 hours, these employees have expressed their belief that Travis should return to Uber in an operational role.
