No one gives a shit about woz as much as Steve. He wrote his name in the history and whenever people will talk about humanity people will remember Steve not woz. This is what becoming immoral look like.

Steve jobs is only good at marketing. Even at that we can have doubts. Steve Jobs is so stupid he had curable cancer and he decided to do stupid diets and stupid things like rock medicine no wonder he died

I read his biography and this story is told in that; except it wasn’t thousands. Steve had got a bonus from Atari of a few hundred bucks for getting the job done in a short space of time but allegedly didn’t tell Woz about it. Steve said he could never recall the incident but the manager from Atari confirmed.

That's literally every founder, they tell you that you're a part of it, you do most of the work, and they take most of the profits, simply for the sake of "I took the risk".

[@AkeruZikora]

Unless you're the only employee, you didn't do most of the work. Also, the idea for the company, its strategy & management also counts. Not to mention the fact that they're the ones who started the company & thus created a source of employment for you and/or anyone else in that instant. Also, no one's forcing anyone to take the job. Since you do most of the work, why not start your own company & take the lion share in proportion to your work. If founders' work is just a small part, which in turn means it's easier than "doing most of the work", why isn't everyone doing it? And why are those doing it failing most of the time (most startups fail within a few years)?

[@AdityaKumar-op5zc]

@@AkeruZikora you have no idea what you're talking about, I worked in a startup as an only employee (people started joining later) and trust me, I did more than starting a new company, how do I know ? Because I just registered another company with the help of a friend where he's also doing a decent chunk of work and almost all of legal stuff and yet the profit is 50-50 because he knows he can't make the product without me. Compliances and registrations are barely that difficult as I've done the standard one's and for the complicated one's you keep a company secratary. Try to write a software from scratch, especially for an embedded system under that heavy constraints, and then talk to me,

[@AdityaKumar-op5zc]

@@AkeruZikora most startup fails because of mostly three reasons, 1. You don't know how to monitize your product 2. You don't know how to market your product. 3. Your employees which make the backbone of your company leave because of your greedy practices.

Steve Jobs was well known for being a jerk throughout his lifetime, I’m not surprised he was manipulative either.

[@M1ng30]

Steve Jobs and Wozniak weren’t paid 750 in total because Atari didn’t want to pay the full 5,000$ for their work on Breakout

[@shridhar0195]

Jobs returned to Atari in early 1975, and that summer, Bushnell assigned him to create a circuit board for the arcade video game Breakout in as few chips as possible, knowing that Jobs would recruit Wozniak for help. During his day job at HP, Wozniak drew sketches of the circuit design; at night, he joined Jobs at Atari and continued to refine the design, which Jobs implemented on a breadboard.[55] According to Bushnell, Atari offered $100 (equivalent to about $500 in 2022) for each TTL chip that was eliminated in the machine. Jobs made a deal with Wozniak to split the fee evenly between them if Wozniak could minimize the number of chips. Much to the amazement of Atari engineers, within four days Wozniak reduced the TTL count to 45, far below the usual 100, though Atari later re-engineered it to make it easier to test and add a few missing features.[56] According to Wozniak, Jobs told him that Atari paid them only $750 (instead of the actual $5,000), and that Wozniak's share was thus $375.[57] Wozniak did not learn about the actual bonus until ten years later but said that if Jobs had told him about it and explained that he needed the money, Wozniak would have given it to him.

Everything is marked up

[@holamilambo8228]

There’s a lot of “business” folks like that. Some people in the business world have no morals. Because they talk louder, get preferential treatment for being attractive, and have the confidence to seize opportunities, they end up getting paid for something they barely worked for.

[@WatercraftGames]

It's shown in the jOBS movie (2013)

[@DeeBash]

That was 5000 USD. Atari asked jobs to create the board within 50 chips, he will get 1000 USD more per chip if it's less than 50... woz created the board with 45 chips. So jobs got 5000 USD.

[@bobweiram6321]

Hello? It's what every business does in existence, or what we nowadays call flipping. Take a product or service and make a profit either by lowering its production cost or raising its price. The only objectionable thing here is Steve Jobs lying to his friend.

Yeah the other part is that Woz already came from a rich family of engineers in Silicon Valley. Steve jobs was basically much poorer. So I think this is smart. Until woz found out he knew nothing of it!

[@aviralsharma2005]

Woz never cared about the money. He even gave his shares away later. The point remains, it's not about the money but integrity and principles. As much as I like Jobs, he failed in this particular instance.

[@danh5637]

@@aviralsharma2005 I disagree. Woz was subcontracted. I understood considering the situation. Jobs or Woz had no idea they would go on to be rich etc. in that circumstance Woz was from a well off family and Steve jobs parents were working class. It’s understandable why he skimmed some off the top. And after all he got the gig. 🤷‍♂️
