I feel sorry for the guy, I hate it when anyone loses a job, but if he was smart enough to get hired at Google, he should have been smart enough to know the rules, and not publicly belittle his employer.

As others have said, he knew what the deal was when he took it, and if it wasn't acceptable, he should have kept looking.

I'm afraid he might have a difficult time locating another job, but you never know. People have done some pretty bad things in public before, and come out smelling like a rose, so he might find something even better.
