The Sad Truth

Some highly confidential information within Google is exposed on a public blog today. It definitely would raise concerns within the company, and it may be a matter of time before some of the openly shared information become unaccessible to most employee. Google has long known for its open culture in sharing highly confidential information with its employee, and seemingly this culture may not scale with the company.

It takes a thousand people to protect a secret, and only one to leak it. Similarly, it takes a thousand conversations to build up a relationship, and only one to destroy it. This kind of inequality is really disturbing.
