I just don't believe he quit. i think he either quit under threat of firing or was fired outright. His attitude was far too laissez faire about his work to be successful. He was all about the perks, without the work to earn them.If he didn't, he should have because he was not a happy camper and had probably become counter productive which leads to poor performance reviews. When you start getting bad performance reviews there aren't many options except to bail. So he probably chose to bail and blamed the Apple culture as justification for his actions.

Sorry. My comment was really focused on Jobs as a man. I respect him for what he did, and I'm not trying to be hard on him. I read the biography of him by Walter Isaacson. Jobs was a complex man with both good and bad in him -- like the rest of us. Interpersonal warmth and understanding was not really Jobs' strongest suit. That's all I meant to say. Those who did know and work with Steve Jobs say that Walter Isaacson's biography did not do Steve Jobs justice. . . that the new biography "Becoming Steve Jobs" does. It does a far better job (no pun intended) of representing the complex man that was Steve Jobs and really shows his humanity.
