Running to a news outlet to tell them that some company is going to allegedly raise some performance bar is very, very different than, for example, reporting illegal activities about private companies to federal agencies. The former is someone looking for some thrill or 20 seconds of fame and, afaik in the US at least, there is nothing like whistleblower protections for that behavior. I also disagree that anything in what was leaked of Mark’s statement is severely damaging to livelihoods any more so than any other time someone has gotten let go for performance reasons.
