I think one should be more careful posting such stuff 'anonymously'. It looks like there is enough bits of information here, to identify the original poster. Owner of the company with 30-40 employees; technology company; oldest employee in the company was recruited straight from the university; divorced; likely UK; likely has another account on stack-exchange; writing style.
How do you know that, the 'anonymous' poster has not posted this to shame the bastard and the ex-wife?... Doubt a small (30-40 employee) tech company's employees don't spend any time on stackexchange or on HN.
And the poster has left just enough clues for his target audience (other employees and his and his ex-wife personal friends) to figure out things. At the same time he is within limits such that he is legally safe (against any defamation suits).
One can't be sure, but if this posting, indeed was a shaming strategy. I would say good solid punch. Bang on the face.
