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.This scenario, pretty much every nasty behavior described in the Isaacson biography, the recent salary-fixing emails - I've witnessed them all repeated.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.
