This is a discussion thread for the "Apple Executive Tried to "Gut Retail Operations"" story posted on the front page.
Yikes - luckily, the mechanisms are in place that this guy wasn't able to do much long-term damage. This is the first story I've read that I feel wouldn't have happened under Jobs. All of the products, all of the services, were planned under Jobs, but this guy just seems like he wanted to get his name out, and look great on paper. Thankfully, the Jobsian Apple prevailed, while this guy was buried.
