I was speaking generally. You're response to whether or not he was going to get in a little hot water over this blog post was to jump immediately to the "he's legally allowed to!" which is a tenuous argument at best when it comes to maintaining interpersonal relationships. In this specific case (salary info sharing) sure it is legal and protected, but he may or may not be doing his employer any favours. That's between him and his employer and honestly immaterial to the principles I'm trying to communicate here. It's not "dystopian" to realize that you probably don't want to be pissing off your boss, even if they cannot legally punish you for it. Whether or not a specific action would piss off your boss is obviously something to be considered on a case by case basis.
