In 8 months at Microsoft, I learned these things

Okay - I will elaborate a bit. Fortune 500 companies tend to be trigger happy lately and not backing their employees. You saw what happened with the #dealwithit guy. And that was for sentiment the whole company backs because it just happened to be true.

If Snowden did not leave the US so fast we would all agree that this would have been stupid. Not the leak but not taking the basic precautions.

Also he is not having personal issues or being harassed from what I read - so the situation is not a civil or worker's right problem that would require that kind of whistleblowing.

It is a rant with proper place on thedailywtf with good privacy protection.

All the more reason to speak his mind rather than try and feign some sort of loyalty to the man, which will never be returned.

Better to speak one's mind anonymously to avoid becoming unemployable in the process.
