"Duties of loyalty and professional ethics require that employees make their disclosures in a manner that minimizes the damage to their organizations." [8] You owe a confidentiality duty to your employers’ trade secrets, stakeholders and other proprietary information. Disclosure of detailed confidential information may make you subject to legal liability for your actions. [13] Disclose your information only to the extent necessary and only to one of the authorities who expressly agree to keep confidential information confidential.

If you become publicly identified as a "disgruntled former employee" who is out to case maximum damage to your former employer, you will also loose leverage as a honest broker of important information. Remember, your job is to change the behavior or policy of the organization while causing as little disruption as possible.
