I think as an isolated incident it wouldn’t be a big deal, but Jobs’ general behavior towards his employees and specifically Wozniak justifies some of the resentment people feel toward him.


Woz doesn't seem to harbor any resentment so it feels weird to have more emotion to this than the person who's meant to be impacted by it.


This is one of the things that always got me. People always seem to act like Woz is just too nice to be outraged on his own behalf or something, and we need to do it for him.

Woz is a smart guy and a definite people person. He likely knew what kind of guy Steve Jobs was and probably just made peace with it. We compromise on people we know doing far shittier things to us than Jobs did to Woz, and yet we can't fathom how someone like Woz can accept that Jobs is Jobs and deal with it.


It’s justified to feel indignant when observing injustice.


Well only thing he can say is I did not like his personality. His skills as a CEO is ... I mean come on.
