Well, Google has always had internal accounts for most of the services that are tied to your Google Company account. I don't know if G+ works this way, but I would assume that the problem isn't something that G+ user would encounter until Google releases Google+ for Google Apps.

Ironically, this is exactly one of the points that Steve made in his original post.

The multiple accounts issue is the main reason I don't use G+. It's no longer practical to tie an online identity to a correspondence account.

Until Google Apps support is released, I find it unlikely that Steve's error here will be encountered by many other users. Most Google+ users don't have access to a separate instance of Google+ to trip them up.

I also think it is unbelievably foolish to suggest that "Google+ adoption" needs attention because of this. Why on Earth would you judge inherently aggregate metrics based on a single individual mistake?

Shouldn't everyone at Google be an experienced Google+ user by this point?

Google has so many products, how would you expect a typical, hard-working employee to actively use all of them? They just wouldn't get any work done.

When their bonus is tied to the success of the company in social software, you'd expect them to use it. No? If Google is trying to make an identity play, shouldn't identity start at home?

Most people make enough money to not need a bonus, so they might value spending their time not caring about Google+. I could make a lot more money as a hitman than as a programmer, but for some reason I choose programming.

Steve Yegg doesn't use Twitter either.

If he was someone who was active on Twitter then yes, you'd have point. Otherwise...
