I regret I have but one downvote to give; not only is it wrong (and ineffective!) to yell at one's employees, that's also not what happened here: Ebrahimi was the CEO or a partner that Jobs sorely needed, not a report. As it happened, Quark didn't port their software -- and NeXT suffered as a result.
- johnwheeler 5y agoGetting yelled at is not a tragedy. I find it hard to believe that Jobs used racism. He wasn’t a stupid man. The people who worked at NeXT did fine. The people at Quark, not so sure. Overt acknowledgement of workplace power dynamics are verboten. Yet those dynamics remain. It’s this ugly thing everyone skirts around, and the problem is it makes things even uglier. People acting strange at work and playing politics. What’s sad is people accept that as normal
