早前我們引述外電報道指，Uber連串的醜聞和公關災難，董事局或許會要求CEO Travis Kalanick放假。現在，有關消息正式獲得證實，Travis本人向員工發出通知，稱將會開始放假，時間是長是短，則暫時未清楚。
據稱除了因為Uber近來的事件外，Travis的母親近來亦因為意外過世，故此他決定放假。據稱在他放假沒有CEO的期間，他的直屬管理人員和高層，都會協助繼續執行公司，Travis稱會在有需要和最關鍵的決定的時候會出手。
事實上，董事局通過Uber最新報告的所有建議，認為Travis放假回來後，責任和權力應該平分給更多高層。
以下是Travis向員工發出的郵件內容：

Team,
For the last eight years my life has always been about Uber. Recent events have brought home for me that people are more important than work, and that I need to take some time off of the day-to-day to grieve my mother, whom I buried on Friday, to reflect, to work on myself, and to focus on building out a world-class leadership team.
The ultimate responsibility, for where we’ve gotten and how we’ve gotten here rests on my shoulders. There is of course much to be proud of but there is much to improve. For Uber 2.0 to succeed there is nothing more important than dedicating my time to building out the leadership team. But if we are going to work on Uber 2.0, I also need to work on Travis 2.0 to become the leader that this company needs and that you deserve.
During this interim period, the leadership team, my directs, will be running the company. I will be available as needed for the most strategic decisions, but I will be empowering them to be bold and decisive in order to move the company forward swiftly.
It’s hard to put a timeline on this – it may be shorter or longer than we might expect. Tragically losing a loved one has been difficult for me and I need to properly say my goodbyes. The incredible outpouring of heartfelt notes and condolences from all of you have kept me strong but almost universally they have ended with ‘How can I help?’. My answer is simple. Do your life’s work in service to our mission. That gives me time with family. Put people first, that is my mom’s legacy. And make Uber 2.0 real so that the world can see the inspired work all of you do, and the inspiring people that make Uber great.
See you soon,
