I can't help feeling that Steve's attitudes are being propagated
throughout the company. In fact, an Apple employee who shall remain
nameless described the company as "Stalinist" WRT how it's changed
since Steve came back to the helm.
A few other adjectives would better apply: "profitable", "extant",
"respected".
Remember when every time Apple was mentioned in the press, it was
prefixed with "Struggling computer maker"? I thought Apple had maybe
renamed itself... I also remember the pre-Steve years, every day
wondering not *when* my favorite company was going to be dismembered,
but by whom. Jobs took a company that was in ruins, with vultures
and journalists circling overhead, and turned it around 1800. Yes,
the person who did that would have had to have been both tough and
smart.
However, the author of this remark also doesn't remember his or her
history, either. Stalin was an absolute butcher who killed
*millions* of his own people during an extended reign of terror that
people in the US can't even imagine. Don't compare a tough
entrepreneur (a vegetarian, as I recall!) with Stalin, please!
