The scandal at Apple, erupted in 1985, led to the dismissal of Steve Jobs. It is believed that the main reason for this was a series of unfortunate decisions and in particular the attempt to dismiss John Sculley, who at the time ran the company. However, Steve Wozniak does not agree with the official point of view. He wrote about this in Facebook.
Steve Jobs is not kicked out of the company. He left. While it occurred some failures. He spent a great marketing campaign for the Apple II, but the Apple III, Lisa and Macintosh were financially unsuccessful. After the failure with the Macintosh, I believe Steve Jobs has left a feeling of grandeur and he felt ashamed of their failures.
In 2005, speaking to students at Stanford University, Jobs said that the company has just released his greatest creation - the Macintosh, and he himself was 30. And he was fired. He lamented: "How can you get fired from a company you yourself started?".
In his resignation, Jobs blamed managers, which he himself and hired, as well as the Board of Directors.
John Sculley - CEO at the time - said the following:
Steve never fired. He took a sabbatical and was still president of the Board of Directors. It has not been pushed out of the company, but we have excluded it from the Mac development department, and for this he has not forgiven me.
Sending Jobs to the sabbatical and eliminating it from the Mac development department, he was given a small house on the campus of the company. In the book "Steve Jobs" Walter Isaacson describes Jobs that he called the house "Siberia", comparing it with the reference.
