> Founders don't get fired because employees find them unbearable or sabotaging

yeah, but he also fucked up the business.

He was a terrible person and a lousy leader. A "good coach" gets the most out of the team and leads them. Steve was coach who yelled and screamed and browbeat them to a losing season.

It's worth noting that he wasn't fired. He was moved into positions with less and less power until he finally quit.
