I don't view it as a moral question. My employer doesn't view hiring or firing me or rewarding me as a moral one. I just treat myself like top shareholder of my own company.

I admire your anonymous candor.

I'd call it cowardice since he's hiding behind a pseudonym. Let him tell his employers what's going on and see if he feels the same way.

As my grandmother used to say, "If you have to hide it, it's probably wrong."

Would you expect the same level of candor from your employer? If the answer is no then you owe them nothing.

"Anne Frank? Why yes, she's right upstairs..."

Looking at this like the recent Uber leaks, plenty of employers keep a lot of things secret.

you're confusing bravery and stupidity.

Why don't you view it as a moral question?

You should just ask whatever question you have, rather than trying to get somebody else to interrogate themselves about your values. Put yourself out there.

That was the question I had :)
