Apple's, unlike many other companies, was created around a single person. They were Steve Jobs. But he could not have achieved this incredible success alone. We decided to look at the fate of the first 10 employees of the company that changed the world.
All employees are listed in descending order of numbers of their badges.
10. Gary Martin - CFO
Though Martin spoke about the imminent failure of Apple, he still came to the company, where he continued to work until 1983. Then Gary got in Starstruck, is working on space travel. Over the next few decades, he now and then changed jobs. Currently, Martin is engaged in investing and operating in the "cloud" of LeoNovus, which in December last year, he was appointed Chief Financial Officer.
9. Sheri Livingston - Secretary
Sherry was the first secretary of the company. Hired her Michael Scott said that she was doing all the paper work in the early days of Apple existence. She recently became a grandmother, and we are not sure if it worked anywhere else.
8. Chris Espinosa - schoolboy
Chris joined Apple, when he was only 14 years old. At that time he was in high school and could only work half a day. It seems that he is still working at Apple. In a personal blog, he said he became the eighth company. When Michael Scott gave out badges, he was just in school and was late for their extradition.
7. Michael Scott - the first CEO
Scotty became known for issuing all the founders of Apple-rooms badges. Michael jokes that wanted to be like James Bond and the only reason given myself โ7. As CEO he has appointed Mike Markulla - people invest in Apple 250 thousand dollars, and part of the first business plan.

The main objective of Viggintgtona was to rewrite BASIC code, which was supposed to run Apple II. After leaving the "fruit" of the company he visited eBay, Google and Chegg. Randy now works at a startup Square.
5. Rod Holt - one of the founders of Apple II
Holt was initially skeptical towards Apple. He says that Jobs took his deception to his work. After 6 years in the company, according to Rhoda, one of the new managers threw him from his job.
4. Bill Fernandez - the first employee after two Steven
When Apple has just formed, Bill was in high school. Perhaps he was the first employee of the company after two Steven only due to the fact that he was a friend and neighbor Wozniak. Fernandez stayed at Apple until 1993, then moved to Ingres. He is now CEO Omnibotics, which is very similar to the Nest.
3. Mike Markulla - investor
Markulla was a very important person in the history of Apple. He first invested in the company of 250 thousand dollars, instead of receiving a 30% stake. In addition, he helped with the management and creation of a business plan. Mike appointed the first CEO and insisted on the Wozniak the Apple (if he was going to go to the HP). In 1997 he returned from exile, Steve Jobs fired him. Since Markulla invests in various start-ups and donates money to universities.
2. Steve Jobs
"Why only โ2, not โ1?ยป, - was indignant Jobs. Michael Scott said that gave him a number to annoy Steve. As we know, the founder of the company was fired from Apple's, and then bought from Lucas founded Pixar and NeXT. In 1997, he returned to his company. In 2011, as a result of complications of the disease, Steve Jobs died.

When Apple was born, Wozniak almost did not go to work at HP, but Mike Markulla persuaded him to leave. Nominally, Steve remains an Apple employee.
