The irony is that, if I remember correctly for what I read in the book about the biography of Steve Jobs, in the very old apple of Jobs and the Lisa, the team leaded by Jobs was working 120 hours/week and even making t-shirt to brag about it.

- yulaow 12y agoThanks, I really have to re-read that book one of these days.
- scott_karana 12y agoAnd how rich are those employees, because of their stock vesting, compared to current ones, getting paid mere salary? ;)
- pinewurst 12y agoThey were getting paid around $20K a year (ref folklore.org) at a time when that wasn't exactly munificent. I'm not even sure they had stock grants either, just promises of greatness from Steve. Idiots.
- wpietri 12y agoWe all have our weaknesses. I'd rather have contempt for the manipulators than the manipulated.
- pinewurst 12y agoI apologize if it came off as contempt for the manipulated. I meant it more as sadness for them. St. Steve on the other hand...
