I doubt very much he would have lost his job today for any of his behavior.
Look at what the U.S. President has and continues to do, and he still has his job, and a much more important and public one too.
Politics aside, Jobs' turnaround of Apple into the most valuable company in the world (for awhile, recently) would have ensured he remained at the helm for as long as he wanted.
What behavior are you talking about that would cost him that position today? Jobs wasn't physically assaulting employees. It isn't illegal to be mean or rude to people. At worst it might cost Apple a few workplace lawsuits/settlements.

The no-poaching collusion between Apple et al probably cost Apple a nine-figure sum to settle (I'm not sure what the exact breakdown between the defendants was): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-Tech_Employee_Antitrust_L...
Both of these were quite serious issues, in my opinion.
