It's not bad at all. When I was younger I thought it'd be really bad, but I now don't really understand why it's so despised.

Perhaps the guy at Google assuming he had some sort of clause in his contract (assuming he even had a contract of course). None of them posted company secrets. No crimes were committed. No one got [physically] hurt. I just don't see what the problem is. Then again, I've never worked in a corporate environment, and if at all possible, I never will.
