What I Learned Negotiating With Steve Jobs
Every time I read something about Jobs I'm struck by how similar he is to various assholes I've worked for over the years.<p>This scenario, pretty much every nasty behavior described in the Isaacson biography, the recent salary-fixing emails - I've witnessed them all repeated.<p>It might seem crazy to entertain, but having seen first-hand that these folks can consistently climb and succeed while being what most decent people would consider scumbags - I have to wonder if Steve was just alpha-scum in the right place at the right time.
