: Edit : The OP has history until recently - My message is off base and in the wrong context. Apologies.
I feel like I'm in crazy town...
Hi - I'm new here. I did something dumb and
set up a mail alias so that steve@next.com
would go to me.
This was a bad idea, I'm sorry.
I've changed it to steve@next.com goes to you,
not to me. I think that makes more sense.
My apologies.
Signed, new guy.

Why ? What is happening if you can't email your boss/upper on the regular like that ?
"Hey, I'm gonna be late today, ate too many burritos last night and had to visit the hospital"

In a 40 person startup or small company, sure. In a 400 person company, the guy at the top is a few levels removed from "your boss" to be emailing with "on the regular".
OP had Jobs as his CEO for 20 years (hired in 1991, until Jobs passed in 2011), and says this was the only time Jobs directly emailed with him (of course, 400 people in 1991 was the smallest the company would be during that time, it would only grow from there).

You're right, I had to dig into OPs history to find that. I take back what I said. He gets every pass he wants, and now it makes sense.
Idolizing steve jobs, or anyone running such an evil corp is honestly just evil as well. Apart from bullying potential competitors, Apple is at top of the list for running an extensive mass surveillance on all of it's users
