Although many do not know it, Steve Wozniak is still an Apple employee, a company he created with Steve Jobs. Being an Apple employee, many of you may think that the salary you will receive every month should be very high and / or similar to what the top managers of the company can receive. Well, it's not going to be.
Guy Kawasaki's podcast, Extraordinary people, has had the opportunity to count in its last episode with the presence of Steve Wozniak, who states that su salary at Apple is $ 50 net weekly, after deducting taxes and savings plans, a salary that he obviously recognizes is not very high.
Wozniak claims that he is still an Apple employee and that is the only person who receives every week In your account an income of about $ 50, discounted all taxes. According to Wozniak:
It is small, but it is out of loyalty, because what could I do that is more important in my life? " No one's going to fire me. I always have strong feelings for Apple.
Although in this interview it may seem that the most remarkable thing is the salary he receives from Apple, it is not like that. Wozniak claims Steve Jobs was always motivated by money and influence and was always looking for ways to do it big now. Wozniak claims that he was never motivated by money when he teamed up with Jobs to create Apple.
Steve wanted to be important, and he didn't have any money. So he was always looking for little ways to take the next step, he wanted to be that important person in life. And this was his big break, because now he was the founder of a company in which a lot of money was invested.
When the company started to get big, Jobs's personality changed, I didn't feel like joking anymore, instead I always wanted to talk business andforgetting a bit strict. The extraordinary Gentre podcast is available through this link.
