What behavior are you talking about that would cost him that position today? Jobs wasn't physically assaulting employees. It isn't illegal to be mean or rude to people. At worst it might cost Apple a few workplace lawsuits/settlements.

The stock options backdating scandal forced out two members of Apple's executive team, and got them indicted: https://www.sec.gov/news/press/2007/2007-70.htm

The no-poaching collusion between Apple et al probably cost Apple a nine-figure sum to settle (I'm not sure what the exact breakdown between the defendants was): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-Tech_Employee_Antitrust_L...

Both of these were quite serious issues, in my opinion.
