The letter reminds me of larger companies I've worked for, where it felt clear to us in the lower levels some of what needed to be done, that moral was sliding, and that plenty of people with ideas and talents were not being utilized.

My bosses in those companies would have found it equally difficult to really let all of these sentiments out, so I don't think its particularly unusual to feel the only recourse is anonymous airing on a tech blog.
