Steve Jobs Deposition Text

By Paul Kedrosky · April 26, 2009 · 2 Comments ·

The text of Apple CEO Steve Jobs’ March 18, 2008 deposition is fascinating in a CEO-ish, me-first, don’t-trouble-me-with-irritating-questions sort of way. The shorter version: He wanted more compensation and ended up in option trouble because he didn’t think his board said "Atta boy!" often and nicely enough to him.

Relatedly, I’m particularly fond of the part where Steve says he has no idea what General Accepted Accounting Principles are all about, and the part where he says that he doesn’t know board secretaries do. Details! Details!
