Tech chairman resigns, citing inspiration from student-led Sunflower Movement (2014/04/15)

A surprise came yesterday when the chairman of a router and Ethernet switch producer cited the student-led Sunflower Movement as a reason for resigning. Accton Chairman Huang An-jie 黃安捷was impressed by the composure of students who occupied the Legislature in protest and said he wanted to create space for a generational transition at his company. 

During normal working hours, employees shuttle in and out of this building, which houses router and Ethernet switch producer Accton. Markets were surprised when Accton Chairman Huang An-jie suddenly announced his resignation. They were even more surprised to learn that he named the student-led Sunflower Movement as a reason for resigning. 

In a statement, Huang said the Sunflower Movement gave him the courage to leave his post to allow for a generational transition. Staff responded positively.

Accton Employee
I think generational change is generally needed. He’s a good person.

Huang said the student movement led him to reflect on what his generation is leaving to young people. He believes that young adults have the ability to bear great responsibility, but they need room to develop. For these reasons he resigned and will devote his skills to charity. 

Effects of the Sunflower Movement continue to spread. A wide range of groups appreciate the power of this youth movement.〕

智邦太陽花

太陽花學運雖然告一段落,但衍生的效應持續發酵,網通大廠智邦董事長黃安捷和副董事長張世明,雙雙宣布請辭,將於今年6月交出經營權,說學運給了他們勇氣,要推動世代交替。

上班時間,員工照常進進出出,網通大廠智邦董事長黃安捷,宣布閃辭,消息一出,引發市場震撼,但?什麼請辭,起因居然是這場學運。

黃安捷發出聲明,說自己受到太陽花學運啟發,才有辭去董事長的勇氣,並且希望推動智邦的世代交替, 對此,員工正面看待。

[[智邦員工]]
基本上世代交替是很應該的,他人是還不錯。

黃安捷還說,透過這次學運,他反思這一代的人留給年輕人什麼? 他相信年輕人絕對有能力扛起未來責任,但也需要空間發展,因此他要將舞台留給年輕人,接下來將投入公益事業。

學運暫告一段落,後續效應持續延燒,也讓各界看見太陽花力量,帶給這個社會的另一種省思。
