To all startup founders: if you think that any part of this mix of ethical infighting and jockeying for position among employees will be good for your venture, think again - do your business honestly and with integrity and focus single-mindedly on executing on a sound business model and the ethics will take care of itself. The rest is divisive and distracting. Perhaps Google is big and dominant enough to rise to a higher level but, for mere mortals, the tried and true way is probably the best.
