The 1985 Apple scandal led to the firing of Steve Jobs. It is believed that the main reason for this was a series of bad decisions and in particular the attempt to fire John Scully, who was running the company at the time. However, Steve Wozniak disagrees with the official point of view. He wrote about this on Facebook.
Steve Jobs was not kicked out of the company. He left. At that time, he had only setbacks. He did an excellent marketing campaign for the Apple II, but the Apple III, Lisa, and Macintosh were financially unsuccessful. After his failure with the Macintosh, I believe Jobs lost his sense of his own greatness and felt ashamed of his failures.
In 2005, speaking to students at Stanford University, Jobs said that the company had just released its greatest creation - the Macintosh, and he himself turned 30. And he was fired. He lamented: "How can you be fired from a company that you yourself founded?"
In his dismissal, Jobs blamed the executives, whom he himself hired, and the Board of Directors.
John Scully, the company's CEO at the time, said the following:
Steve was never fired. He took a sabbatical and was still President of the Board of Directors. Nobody pushed him out of the company, but we expelled him from the Mac development department, and for this he did not forgive me.
After sending Jobs on sabbatical and excluding him from the Mac development department, he was given a small house on the company's campus. In the book by Walter Isaacson, it is said that Jobs himself called the house "Siberia", comparing it with reference.
