I've heard it said on another thread that the board can't actually fire Kalanick. I couldn't find anything on Wikipedia that could verify this. Anybody know if it's true?
It is likely that the board has the legal power to fire him, but not the willpower, which would be due to him having control of most of the board's voting seats.
The CEO serves at the Board's pleasure. The Board can fire them because there is too much egg in their Cobb salad.
