Pixar's Docter Differs from Jobs' Intense Work Ethic

Pixar's Docter Differs from Jobs' Intense Work Ethic

Imagine you're making a really cool cartoon.

Steve Jobs, who helped start Pixar, used to work ALL the time, even calling people in the middle of the night!

But now, the person in charge of making the cartoons at Pixar, Pete Docter, doesn't want to be like that.

He thinks it's important to take breaks and not always be working, because it can make people tired and less creative.

He remembers how Jobs used to work but wants to do things differently to make sure Pixar stays a great place to work.
