He Made People Cry
"The Trouble with Steve Jobs" was one of the press articles written about Jobs' difficult character. Robert Sutton Stanford management science professor and author of best-seller "The No Asshole Rule," said, "The degree to which people in Silicon Valley are afraid of Jobs is unbelievable. He made people feel terrible; he made people cry."
Jobs earned this reputation during his early years at Apple. In 1981, Jef Raskin, Macintosh project founder had lots of complains regarding Jobs' temper to then- Apple president Mike Scott. There are a many occasions of Jobs getting annoyed at employees and sacking them for petty reasons.
Celebrity Romances
In The Second Coming of Steve Jobs, an unauthorized biography, a friend from Reed reveals that Jobs had a brief fling with folk singer Joan Baez. Baez confirmed the two were close "briefly," though her romantic connection with Bob Dylan is much better known (Dylan was the Apple icon's favorite musician). The biography also notes that Jobs went out with actress Diane Keaton briefly.
