Exit, Pursued by a Bear
阿梅里奧出局
Jobs had refused to quash Larry Ellison's takeover talk, and he had secretly sold his shares and been misleading about it.
喬布斯拒絕澄清拉里·埃利森的收購說法，又秘密地賣掉了他的股票而且還不認(rèn)賬。
So Amelio finally became convinced that Jobs was gunning for him.
阿梅里奧終于開始相信喬布斯是沖著他來的了。
"I finally absorbed the fact that I had been too willing and too eager to believe he was on my team," Amelio recalled.
“我最終接受了這個(gè)事實(shí)，我太愿意太渴望相信他是跟我站在一起的，”阿梅里奧后來回憶說，
"Steve's plans to manipulate my termination were charging forward."
“史蒂夫操縱我出局的計(jì)劃在一步步向前推進(jìn)。”
Jobs was indeed bad-mouthing Amelio at every opportunity. He couldn't help himself.
喬布斯確實(shí)是一有機(jī)會就說阿梅里奧的壞話。他無法控制自己。
But there was a more important factor in turning the board against Amelio.
但是還有一個(gè)更重要的原因讓整個(gè)董事會開始反對阿梅里奧。
Fred Anderson, the chief financial officer,
首席財(cái)務(wù)官弗雷德·安德森
saw it as his fiduciary duty to keep Ed Woolard and the board informed of Apple's dire situation.
認(rèn)為自己有責(zé)任將蘋果岌岌可危的狀況告知埃德·伍拉德和董事會。
"Fred was the guy telling me that cash was draining, people were leaving, and more key players were thinking of it," said Woolard.
“是弗雷德告訴我現(xiàn)金短缺，員工在流失，還有更多的重要員工在考慮離開。”伍拉德說，
"He made it clear the ship was going to hit the sand soon, and even he was thinking of leaving."
“他講得很清楚，這艘船很快就要擱淺，甚至他自己都在考慮離開。”
That added to the worries Woolard already had from watching Amelio bumble the shareholders meeting.
伍拉德看到阿梅里奧在股東大會上的拙劣表現(xiàn)后，本來就已經(jīng)在擔(dān)心，聽了弗雷德的話之后就更加憂心忡忡。
