Dirty Laundry 

In the internet age, nothing prevents an employee or ex-employee from exposing to the world the dirty laundry of an organization.  Consider this case.  An ex-employee, six years removed from a Google job, spills his anger at the company and the top manager of his group, Google+.  His series of Tweets are ugly and there is nothing the company can do about them.  Pointing out that the designer worked there only eight months and is hashing over old times doesn't help.  Neither does the fact that Google is shutting down Google+.  The Tweets were inflammatory enough that Business Insider took notice and gave them wide currency.  Organizations everywhere need to be prepared for online tell-alls.  There will be many more, and they can spark a crisis quickly.
