Generous to a fault?...
Steve Jobs helped negotiate an employment contract with a top film director that included a large stock-options grant with an especially well-timed date, according to a person familiar with the matter.
The options grant, part of a 2001 employment contract reached between Pixar Inc. and noted animated-film director John Lasseter, carried the lowest share price of the previous year -- on a date more than three months before the employment contract was actually signed. Mr. Jobs, then Pixar's chairman and chief executive, signed the agreement on behalf of Pixar.
