Why employees of Apple with Jobs hated to be alone

Steve Jobs is known as an absolute perfectionist, which are subject to sometimes too high demands on their employees, especially when it came to the development of new products. According to one of the former employees of the company, to be alone with the leader they did not like, and here's why.

David Black has worked in the "apple" of the company's 12 years since the beginning of the 2000s, has not yet established his own startup. At Apple, he held several positions: senior consulting engineer for Java and WebObjects, Director on developments in the Chinese department of education, as well as educational marketing manager Asia. David now works in the department of development DB3 Innovation.

Black said that he did not often clashed with Jobs, but he knew and saw how his presence affects other employees. For example, when Steve had to sit on the patio to dine, his colleagues finished their snack 15-20 minutes before Jobs came to this territory.

No one would sit next to him. Just because you have to always be ready to report.

The first thing you learn in the Apple, - is to answer the question: "What are you working on now?". And here are a couple of related stories, which David heard from other employees of the company.

One trade representative of Apple once jumped into the elevator, which was Steve Jobs. Steve asked him what he was working on. The employee told me that the whole day was engaged in selling software.

Jobs then asked him what he was now working in the elevator. And he said that in general engaged in checking the quality of the company's products. To which Steve replied: "Why did you go down? You have to go upstairs and work on. " The guy turned white, and Jobs said, "Hey, I'm just kidding."

Perhaps Steve just wanted to see how people react to such statements. It was only a small part of the power granted to him, which he enjoyed in the company.

HR-team of Apple told the story of Blake stazhorke, who finished his career in the "apple" of the company, he ran into the elevator to Jobs. He asked the girl on what she was working, and asked to see her project right here and now, in the elevator.

"That's why no one wanted to stay indoors with Jobs. You would have to report on the site, "- says Black.
