You are my hero :-)
Sorry, not very productive, but you made me smile
TBH, yes. Being direct and abrasive is much easier to handle when it is also combined with usually being right (and a willingness to change when not right).

If I put all my charm on and ask you to postpone your wedding to work for me without giving you anything in return I am not being direct and abrasive. To be clear, steve jobs was not direct and abrasive. He was a jerk.
Or a SOB if you prefer.
success is irrelevant :P
But only to the successful.
It's like the asshole boss version of 'Sexual Harassment and You'[0].
- Be Charismatic
- Be Successful
- Don't Be Unsuccessful
> Don't defend him while trying to separate the fact that he was the king of jerks because you have spent big money on his products. Does not work that way. Sorry.
You sound like a jerk.
