I think we should be asking whether this exodus is actually happening before why.

Uber is a large company with hundreds of "execs" at this level.

If we assume there are 100 "senior execs", even with a healthy 5-year retention, we'd expect 20 execs to leave every year. Sure, we'd expect churn to ramp over time, but 1 senior exec leaving every month would not be out of the ordinary.

I guess it's not really surprising that some people (and therefore reporters) want to believe this story. Uber is the villain and the villain must die. But, it doesn't make it true.

There are probably hundreds of senior execs, but Jeff Jones was the second in command... not just any senior execs
