Apple Inc. was sued by Wayne Goodrich, who says he was a confidant, sounding board and close adviser to company co-founder Steve Jobs and was fired for no legitimate reason despite Jobs’s promise of job security.

Goodrich said he was fired in December for what Apple said were “business reasons” not connected to his performance, according to a complaint filed Aug. 17 in California state court in San Jose.
