Doesn't seem like much of a real story:

> Mr. McClendon is departing amicably from Uber and will be an adviser to the company. ... His exit has been in the works for some time

Mm, perhaps. Brian Mc only joined Uber in June 2015 as part of their massive push into maps. Another senior maps exec, Marc Prioleau, joined in December 2015 and last month left for Mapbox. Two departures after a short time suggests something not right.

This news is only getting traction because of Jeff Jones departure. In addition there has been a few other high profile departures that were news worthy
