I’m calling out some nonsense, and what better place to start than the internet? It is home of social media, which is unequalled for nonsense.

“I am not impressed by your money, your position, or your title. I am impressed by how you treat others,” or something like that, so a popular internet quotation/meme/slogan goes. I’ve noticed that the people who post such clichés also like to post quotations attributed to business celebrities, such as Steve Jobs.

In his book, The Hidden Habits of Genius, Yale Professor Craig Wright dedicates several pages to examples of what an incredible jerk Steve Jobs was. According to Wright, Jobs treated his employees as minions and his so-called loved ones no better. Wright paints Jobs as a nasty, petty man who believed that he was not bound by ordinary rules of decorum, because his genius gave him a free pass to behave as he pleased.
