Jobs&#x27; personal vendetta can easily be interpreted as public theatrics for business reasons.  Making a business decision because you are personally getting sued is completely different.<p>Let me frame it this way.  Let&#x27;s say I was working there and thought I was getting underpaid.  I started interviewing, found a job paying 65k, and was about to take it.  There&#x27;s some grand announcement about how everyone will get 70k and I decide, great, I&#x27;ll stay.  Had I been provided with what looks to be the real reason behind the raise, I may have elected to jump ship for less money.
