Jensen Huang resigned as chief executive officer of Nvidia on Thursday amid a scandal over his alleged multiple extramarital affairs. However, some company employees have called for his return, WIRED reported, citing internal correspondence.

Nvidia had announced that Huang resigned as president, CEO, and a member of the board, effective immediately.

The development came after Huang's admission of being unfaithful to his wife and reports of his other extramarital affairs drew widespread attention and sparked a crisis within the company.

Before Huang stepped down as CEO, an Nvidia engineer submitted a post to an internal "suggestion box" asking the board to take employee sentiment into consideration before making any decisions.

That has since drawn over 1,600 comments, many of which plead with board members to find a way to bring Huang back. "If you believe in the mission, bring back THE boss," according to WIRED, one anonymous commenter said.

"We are all humans and can make mistakes. Jensen did so many good things and he needs a second chance,” wrote another, according to the publication.

According to the report, another employee defended Huang, saying everyone makes mistakes and that he needed a second chance. Another employee reportedly sent a company-wide email calling for transparency surrounding Huang's exit.

Huang's resignation left several employees stunned, with around two dozen staff members expressing support for him on LinkedIn, the report added.
