“...the elevator question...”
-
Never heard of it, what is that?

[Revolting cat!]

The famous actor Robert Redford was walking one day through a hotel lobby. A woman saw him and followed him to the elevator.

“Are you the real Robert Redford?” she asked him with great excitement.

As the doors of the elevator closed, he replied, “Only when I am alone!”

Apparently Jobs had a habit of getting into elevators with employees of Apple. According to Apple folklore, Jobs would ask that employee "What do you do here" and if the employee did not have a satisfactory answer by the time the doors opened, that employee would be terminated.

I am not sure it happened exactly that way but obviously there is a grain of truth in this as Steve Jobs hated mediocre employees and was always trying to get rid of them.
