In the movie "Jobs", Steve's boss tells him people are complaining because he isn't showering, being an asshole, etc. He then says:

As for your personal issues, I think we may have a solution.

It was said in the tone similar to "It's settled."

But nothing is said after that, it just cuts to Steve working on the "troublesome game" in the dark, before he calls Woz for help.

What was the solution?



Best Answer

That was the solution. His boss at Atari gave him the troublesome game to work on, at the same time that he 'rescheduled' his work hours to be after normal working hours. If he was no longer in the area during the day, no one had to put up with his being an asshole, or his body odor. Out of sight, out of mind.
