Having spent seven years working for Microsoft, Kibkalo is alleged to have leaked Windows 8 code to a French technology blogger in mid-2012, prior to the software's release. Kibkalo was apparently angry over a poor performance review."

    A thousand times this. Sending an anonymous (or otherwise) tip to the local ISO auditor, or better yet OSHA, EPA or any other fear-inducing acronym can put most companies in a world of inconvenient pain, while you get away squeaky clean, because everybody working there knows about those violations, even if they don't talk about them.
