____________________
Back in 1976 Steve Jobs co-founded Apple. And during his time at the company, he built an incredible legacy that continues to be admired today. But things weren’t always smooth sailing for Steve Jobs. In fact he was fired from Apple in 1985, only nine years after starting the company. So in this video we’re going to take a closer look at the events leading up to his removal, and investigate why it happened.

Nobody fired Jobs.

Sculley pretty much stabbed Jobs in the back...

[@nuanil]

Jobs was busy killing Apple with failure after failure after failure, largely by undermining Wozniak at every turn, trying to design appliances, which in turn caused severe engineering issues half the time, something that the current MacBooks still have (with their display cables that break because they're too short to save half a penny).

This video is worth watching! More of this, please!

[@cellsheet]

it's wild in a timeline of settled marketshare of giant companies today and overly established products to think back there was such a time that Apple and the technological market was young enough and in such a state to actually consider a GUI to be considered one of the most radical changes and so much to be labeled as such a huge risk in the market back then that it wasn't guarantee'd to take off. It's crazy to think how much of a pioneer Steve Jobs was in this area as well. I'm just glad I grew up in that era since my sister who's older than me has an even more different perspective since she saw the birth of all these tech companies. If I had to guess if you want to be the next Steve Jobs then AI's the next new field to play with.

Apple is so controversial, especially this.. Wozniak said Steve wasn’t useful to the company, and the company slowly but surely declined and couldn’t stay afloat and it was better without him. Some fans disagree and say Steve was the most influential person in the company. I agree with the former.. what do you guys think 🤔

[@ulyssesandthesirens]

I have a question about you... While I've been a subscriber to this channel for 2 and a half years, I've never seen you discuss your personal relations with Apple, if any. Have you ever worked as an Apple Genius or employee at Apple before? If so, did you enjoy working for them? I ask because I am considering applying for a job as an Apple Genius after my desired transition from female to male and I would like some input from someone who has had any experience working for Apple. I've been an Apple enthusiast since childhood and I enjoy watching your videos and learning more about the company!

what

[@augustogalindo8687]

Steve actually had a tiny chance to put the board on his side, he had a plan to take over the CEO position when Sculley would go on a business travel. His mistake was to tell Jean Louis Gassée, who then alerted Sculley not to travel because of Steve’s plan. And that’s when their friendship irremediably finished and Sculley put the board on his side.

[@augustogalindo8687]

Notice I’m saying tiny chance, because even without Gassée’s betrayal, there was no guarantee Steve’s plan would actually have worked out.
