Jobs career was launched by a capitalistic exploitation of Woz's work -- subcontracting his work to Woz for a fraction of the pay. He was similarly ruthless in negotiating pay and IP ownership with his employees and colluding with competitors to suppress employee opportunities and wages. Apple is not a Communist love story.
- StopTheWorld 8y agoApparently Jobs was not ruthless enough - in 1985 he found himself exiled from his own company, by his hand-picked CEO.
- gunnihinn 8y agoI will cry myself to sleep tonight, with great heaving sobs, at your evil suggestion that Steve Jobs was anything less than perfect. Shame on you.
- maxxxxx 8y agoThere is a story in the Jobs biography where Jobs refused to give any stock options to one of the techs that had worked with them at the start. Wozniak then made up for it from his own stock. That together with the fact that Jobs lied to Wozniak about the amount of money they made from a contract shows to me that Jobs was always a greedy bastard. Wozniak on the other hand was extremely egalitarian.
