Jobs Earns More Than A Buck A Year

Posted by pudge on from the nice-work-if-you-can-get-it dept.

The Only Druid writes "Well, though we've all heard about Steve Jobs only being paid $1 per year for being CEO of Apple, it turns out Apple pays him in other ways. He gets $1.2 million for renting the jet to them -- a jet that Apple bought for Jobs."

    So I was flying in this private jet that I used to rent and we got in a snowstorm and it was like BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP and we almost died!! So I was like shit but maybe I can make my company buy me a jet so I don't have to rent this piece of crap. Besides I deserve my own jet because I thought of putting the icons on the RIGHT side of the desktop, which is the one true reason Macs are superior. Plus Apple's only paying me a dollar a year anyway, what the hell; just for yucks I'll see if I can get away with having them buy me the jet and rent it back to them, and make even MORE MONEY. My stockholders would be pissed if they knew, but all they care about is translucent hardware and lickable web browsers. Muwahahahahahaha! It was a really good jet.

    Getting the company that bought you the jet to rent it from you: priceless.

    There are some things money can't buy. For everything else, there's Steve Jobs.

    A "fucking company?" The company I know about makes computers and software.

    Hmmm... so they send you to the trouble site in a Lear jet if a server goes beserk? Sounds like time for a clever bit of system administration scripting.

    "Gosh, Boss, I have no idea why the servers in LA are down. Even rebooting doesn't seem to fix it. I guess I'll have to be flown out there - such a shame since it's 75 and sunny over there and we're buried in snow here."

    $ cat /etc/init.d/tempcheck
    if (LA.server == true)
    {
    if (CH.temperature < 15 || CH.expectedSnowFall > 10)
    {
    shutdown -halt now
    }
    }
