Update 2: Ex-president Jones makes statement
>"I joined Uber because of its Mission [sic], and the challenge to build global capabilities that would help the company mature and thrive long-term.
"It is now clear, however, that the beliefs and approach to leadership that have guided my career are inconsistent with what I saw and experienced at Uber, and I can no longer continue as president of the ride sharing business.
"There are thousands of amazing people at the company, and I truly wish everyone well."

- tyingq 10y agoThe content of that internal email is at the bottom of this article: http://www.businessinsider.com/report-ubers-president-jeff-jones-quits-amid-company-turmoil-2017-3 http://www.businessinsider.com/report-ubers-president-jeff-j... Kalanick certainly wanted to put his spin on the reason for leaving. "After we announced our intention to hire a COO, Jeff came to the tough decision that he doesn't see his future at Uber."
