It wasn't just Steve Jobs. It's never just one person. Many people enable punitive & regressive decisions like that.

- effingwewt 4y agoThis is what's great about being a CEO! Things go bad? Ship is too big to steer, the failure is on the whole company, the CEO didn't even know, they swear! Things go right? Obviously it was all the hard work of the CEO they definitely deserve millions in bonuses! It was Steve Jobs, so was the wage-fixing. They were all so stupid about it they literally got busted doing it. Doesn't matter what the company makes, only the C-Suite will reap the rewards. But hey, maybe some $ will trickle down to the people who make the money for the company...
- keeganpoppen 4y agoyeah no one ever makes the argument that Steve Jobs doesn't deserve 100% of the credit for Apple's success
- Someone 4y agoI’ll make that argument: Steve Jobs doesn't deserve 100% of the credit for Apple's success. I think that’s trivially true. AFAIK, it wasn’t him alone who put 100+ million iPhones in boxes every year, and without that, Apple’s success would have been smaller. He also didn’t do hardware design without help, and I’m fairly sure he didn’t write much of Apple’s software, etc. etc. Even if you think all others involved were replaceable, many of them still contributed.
- foobarian 4y agoI for one am perfectly happy with the mid 6 figures that trickle down to us lowly ICEs...
- robertlagrant 4y ago> But hey, maybe some $ will trickle down to the people who make the money for the company... It doesn't trickle down. Some (most) people agree to work for someone in exchange for money, rather than go off and be CEOs and have people work for them.
