‘Please leave us alone’ may be the next pop words
If you now search ‘Leave us alone’, most of the titles in the first page may about the war of words between Jobs and a jounalism student. That is what Jobs said in the third reply to the journalism student’s email. It may be the next pop words, which may be converted into ‘leave me alone’.
The journalism student: “I humbly ask why Apple is so wonderfully attentive to the needs of students … and yet, ironically, the Media Relations Department fails to answer any of my questions which are, as I have repeatedly told them, essential to my academic performance,”
Jobs: “Our goals do not include helping you get a good grade. Sorry.”
The journalism student: “I never said that your goal should be to ‘help me get a good grade’. Rather, I politely asked why your media relations team does not respond to emails, which, consequently, decreases my chances of getting a good grade. But, forget about my individual situation; what about common courtesy, in general – if you get a message from a client or customer, as an employee, isn’t it your job to return the call? That’s what I always thought. But I guess that’s not one of your goals.”
Jobs: “Nope. We have over 300 million users and we can’t respond to their requests unless they involve a problem of some kind. Sorry.”
The journalism student: “Now, can they kindly respond to my request (my polite and friendly voice can be heard in the first five or 10 messages in their inbox). Please, I am on deadline,”
Jobs: “Please leave us alone.”
I think Jobs is patient enough to reply to the journalism student’s emails for three times. And I don’t mention the name of this journalism student, in order to avoid a hype of herself.
