Was Moses asking for problems by leaving the Israelites alone so soon after coming out of Egypt?

My understanding is the Moses went up the Mountain to get the 10 Commandments exactly 3 months after leaving Egypt, and a week or so later went up again for 40 (on g-ds command) days without out telling anyone how long he would be gone. 2 questions

  1. Are my assertions above correct? Is this not a recipe for disaster?
  2. How could g-d (or Moses for that matter) not know that this was a bad Idea? Is there any commentary on this? (I can’t find any)
