IANAL but doesn't the letter's language ("that termination shall become effective 20 days from today") imply that he has 20 days to fix things, and that the termination is not a already done deal?
- jeeyoungk 9y agoI'm assuming that since he's a high-profile hire from an acquisition with a lot of vesting cycles attached to it, there are more required legal procedures including time window to amend things.
- mikeryan 9y ago"Cause" has meaning here. His days working for Uber are likely done but if he choose to rectify the issues stated in the letter then he might be able to get the terminated for "Cause" removed in which case he likely has some parachute clauses and payouts which can come into effect.
- xyzzy_plugh 9y agoAssuming Uber didn't want to fire him, and he rectifies the issues, then I don't believe there is anything preventing them from hiring him back. Actually there's nothing preventing them from hiring him back after the court case concludes, is there? IANAL.
- Ded7xSEoPKYNsDd 9y agoI don't know. If the court thinks there was a deal between Uber and Levandowski where they "fired" him for the duration of the trial, only to hire him back as soon as possible, that could lead to contempt of court charges, I feel. But IANAL either.
- euyyn 9y agoSounds like that, yeah. Standard procedure I guess?
- bllv7 9y agoCorporate way to force his hand to share any and all information requested, if indeed he still has information that he is inclined to share and if he does not comply he has a written letter showing Uber gave him a chance to "do the right thing." The ball is surely in his court now . . . if he complies to the letter he will still be employed by Uber - for how long, who knows. Uber's CYA letter
