Let's not pretend he didn't know what he was doing. There are textbook examples about people who blast off a rant to the entire company and then are somehow surprised when it becomes public (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/1315452/Bosss-angry-email-sends-shares-plunging.html http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/1...).
- rtx 9y agoAgain he didn't share it with the entire company.
- dcole2929 9y agoHe shared it in a forum that any and everyone in the company can access, and is intended to be able to access. That's essentially the same thing. This wasn't a private email chain that was leaked but an intentional dissemination by the engineer to google's employees at large.
- alexknvl 9y agoIt wasn't even meant for the entire company. He gave it to a small community of people within Google who later distributed it across the company AFAIU from his interview with Jordan Peterson (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEDuVF7kiPU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEDuVF7kiPU).
- timgrahamtech 9y agoIt's just my opinion that you shouldn't post anything to Facebook that you want to keep private. Likewise I think he should have figured that anyone in the company could gain access to that board and that what he posted could be circulated. I think he knew that he was taking the role of Martin Luther and nailing his complaints to the door. But that's just my opinion. So why all the downvotes? Aren't the people downvoting me the sames ones that say this guy should be free to express his opinion? It seems that if someone disagrees on this forum, the response is to shutdown the conversation with downvotes. Are people so afraid of an actual discussion with dissenting opinions that they'll commit the same actions they're criticizing in others?
