Without context (which when speaking to a company can also include context you can only get by working there and experiencing the culture/norms) it’s possible to pull out clips from most speeches/announcements to excite anger from just about anyone and many media outlets seem very happy to help leakers do just that.
Thanks to those kinds of leaks, I had already decided I’d never want to work for that place.
When a good friend started working there, he confirmed pretty much everything.
Just because you’d like to know the information about the on-goings of a company doesn’t make you entitled to it and I wish large companies would collectively do more to go after leakers in court to stop this trend.
But that doesn’t change the fact that it’s this information is useful for outsiders, not a disservice.
As for wanting leakers to be dragged into court…
Are you saying, for example, that Amazon warehouse workers should not be allowed to expose terrible working conditions? Or pretty much any other unethical action of a company?
Because that’s exactly what you’re advocating for.

Whistleblowers have a hard enough time in this day and age. I hope more do this - corporations dominate enough of our lives.
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.
Which is it? Your position is logically inconsistent.
