there was an an amazing over tickle written on gawker uh... orion take from
doctor wrote this uh...
peas about steve jobs and you know steve jobs just passed away see real lot of
stories about his life in most of them are extremely positive and you know of
course that makes sense because he was someone who is inspirational
his rape business later and he impacted all of us in one way or another
however arrive
take says look we need to look at another side of steve jobs
that people are too afraid to talk about so he gives us specific examples of how
he was at a bit of a jerk
uh... too soon
date now look that's why people don't want to talk about it
but all kidding aside
i think that's etc
actually good thing to talk about because of course nobody's in angel
nobody's perfect
by the need of a smart discussion about though the totality of a person
even after i read this i sold my received jobs totally but there's a
place that use up and they're so let's have a smart conversation about are at
first i wanna start off with white ryan tate said about steve jobs and his
interaction with his employees okay
he said that steve jobs a bit of a prick with his employees okay he was tough on
them icb little ben once in awhile
but like his a c l_ of a major company okay so it's not surprising to me at all
that a c_e_o_ would respond that way to his employees so let me give you an
example
last month fortune magazine actually did this piece about steve jobs and how
he was talking to his team about mobile me
and he was upset with the functionality of mobile me so he basically be a little
ben for half an hour straight he's uh... we have a couple of course for me from
that meeting apparently he began the meeting by saying can anyone tell me
what mobile me is supposed to do
and he received a satisfactory answer he says so why the fuck doesn't he do it
the crowd
analyzing their yet they so
assault are had no problems with this will take
and uh...
you know what he did
attended a meeting
he fired the head of the division
that's that now i don't know if that's bad ass i think that's a little extreme
dia suspect
is it a little extremely yes
but you know what he lay dropped
okay his room off the ropes course liderman like dr tim
but he showed up look here's a think tank
c_e_o_'s are supposed to be mexico c_s_ i'd agree with kate and i don't mean
that they have to be jerks right
he does need to be competitive any does need to have consequences
if someone doesn't do their job
and he didn't find the lowest guy in the totem pole he hired the head of the
group
and fired the head of the revised say
so to me that again make sense
decide that everyone regardless of what field of work urine everyone makes
mistakes ight now that i've made mistakes
uh... takes a look at how it is only okay
but here's the thing i can you imagine firing me for every mistake i've made
right now no matter how does that i was looking today
my says the story was that
their is this is a significant role up it was not not done right besides as one
mistake that you make it's and i think it's a get out of context
and uh... if they give a series of mistakes he screwed up opera product the
way you gotta go son
i got no probs with that are and that's and that they can and if you ask me i'm
sure your name in fact the story says he was lovely to other employees but he had
a high standards highlight video size fares ice and i have no problem with my
sense and don't get me wrong i'm not saying that that guy should have been
punished but i'm just saying like
it just because the product in turn out the way that you wanted to and it wasn't
exactly perfect as we knew immediately fired and i think that a good c_e_o_
should work with the person first cell not combat aspect of hayes uh... on work
doesn't bother me at all okay he was a tough c_e_o_ that's fine but then
there's another aspect of apple that i think it's questionable not something
that ryan tapings at he brings up the fact that the majority of their products
are actually manufactured in china rang and they're manufactured by eight young
chinese teenagers
some of them work about fourteen fifteen hours a day and they work in non-air
conditioned buildings and they are really struggling they're hardly making
any money who who
i think that uh... kitty i'm totally do it
now look look here's a rally that kate those who were noonish is a very tough
in china
and the temperatures through the roof this of course no recognition is
triple bunks 'cause there's back and people in people worry about the fifteen
hour days
now the reality though is that allot of companies do that then it doesn't let
steve jobs off the hook right
uh... but and slowly that has increased
uh... the living standard of the chinese
i get a lot of flack for this but i actually think that overall that's not
such a bad thing
they gotta start somewhere forcibly when you don't know country the parties in
the these
uh... corporations goin is because the cheap labor and then they wind up
abusing their cheap labor in a hundred different ways are not happy about
but eventually
though wages are rising et cetera stated herein in the u_s_ and now china's begin
to have a middle class
i hate the process because of the
pain that real people go through but at the same time certainly steve jobs not
responsible for the whole phenomenon
island look steve jobs is the leader of that uh... organization of that company
right as the leader you have to set certain standards
if you know that your products which are having a huge impact on the world are
being manufactured by people who are going to horrible working conditions
then you put your foot down you say no i don't want to do that maybe it's gonna
cost me a little more
look it was a billionaire
he can afford to find a better place to manufacture the product made in the
united states are people need jobs
rather than doing it in china where people are suffering leak
and only financing or lease in china these people have the ability to work
great if these jobs are
now we need jobs here in the united states and we need to make sure that if
we're manufacturing things abroad we make sure that those factories meet the
same standards that we have in the united states i don't think that that's
unreasonable especially for such open wealthy company like this uh... i hear
you say the siege as a seven billion dollars
uh... would hope that it was in his position that i would want to regulate
those factories a little bit better and and make sure that people are not being
abused et cetera
and it is decent cell in the same wages here right
and that's where you and i might decorate
but there's at least
s certain humane decent
status for those guys
and now the part of an amused by is a slogan that all these worries about the
same the morning
which is the exact
opposite of what apple supposed to be
rights of the building has a bunch of like slogans and things like that around
the bill you know on the walls and everything
and one of them is arise arise arise millions of hearts with one mind
that's the the chinese food and they say in the morning as well so it had being
on the bill okay
millions of hearts with one mind
that sounds so smoky that's positive inside opposite of what up all that's
life
we want you to be independent in fact we have an example of how apple at claims
to be the exact opposite about let's watch
here's to the crazy ones
michigan's
company
drown pages we're home
no respect
stands
important
disagree with him
glorifying orville lynn kinda
not the only thing you can
the gene
and wants to make even
and region
as the people who are crazy
i think they can change the world
thing german unless you're in one of our chinese factories in which case you
should all of one mind
these are the into your real human being for better or for worse and uh... and
then i still think that he is a great guy and is not a guy in the world to get
a find that the and even
they did some sketches stuff friday
but uh... but now you know pick
