This isn't about rights or power. It's about stupidity. Anyone who is so publicly critical of a new employer in the *first week* on the job has revealed himself to have exceptionally poor judgment.


Furthermore, you can't have loose lips about (a) sensitive company financial information; (b) secret internal plans and projects. Message discipline matters in highly compeititive markets. Disclosure timelines matter.


Clearly, this guy is pretty smart - Microsoft, Google and Yahoo wouldn't have hired him if he weren't. But being wise ain't got nothin to do with being smart.
