Steve Jobs was. Steve Ballmer made chairs fly. Bill Gates was also (verbally) abusive. They both stayed at their companies for quite a while. Where was the pressure for them to change their behavior?

- me_me_me 5y agoProminent figures in the biggest winners of the IT boom were toxic. What makes you think other ceo's of smaller companies are not going to look up to the winners. >A lot of bad behaviour was tolerated in previous decades across many industries. IS tolerated. Petty, irrational bosses are reality in many sectors not just low level services. You sound like you never worked blue collar job and only heard about it or observed it from afar.
- aglavine 5y agoGuys like Robert Moore weren't abusive at all, but nobody mentions that. Yes, Jobs was abusive, as well as Ballmer. So was many people in other industries.
