    On February 25, 1981, the day known as “Black Wednesday” at the company, Scott personally fired forty Apple employees, including half of the Apple II team, in a belief that they were redundant. Later in the afternoon he assembled the remaining employees with a keg of beer and explained the firings by stating, “I used to say that when being CEO at Apple wasn’t fun anymore, I’d quit. But now I’ve changed my mind — when it isn’t fun any more, I’ll fire people until it’s fun again.”

    He sounds like a massive douche.

      Yeah that’s the moment when you stand on the keg and start organizing all the workers to strike and until that dude is gone
