Or you can write an NPR Best Book of the Year bestseller in your spare time, and still get fired from Apple because your fictional writing "makes people feel unsafe". Sadly no reinstating there.

  A decent summary: https://www.theverge.com/2021/5/12/22432909/apple-petition-hiring-antonio-garcia-martinez-chaos-monkeys-facebook https://www.theverge.com/2021/5/12/22432909/apple-petition-h... If it's an autobiography, I can see how he'd be difficult to work with. The problem with people who think they are writing in Hunter Thompson / Gonzo Journalism mode, is that most of them are bad at it, and none of them are Hunter Thompson. Hunter Thompson never sought out a straight job.
