Today's news of Zynga's layoffs went viral in a matter of minutes thanks to Justin Maxwell's tweet but let's take a step back and think "Why is this such a shock?"Sure any company completing layoffs is tragic and in the midst of a struggling economy you might say crippling. However, most of the reports on Zynga's workforce should be a reminder of how incredibly toxic it's been for quite some time. How toxic?
"I watched alcoholism and substance abuse skyrocket, relationships crumble (including my own), people slept on office couches, two developers got divorced, one nervous breakdown," says a Zynga employee.
But you don't need an inside source to pick up on a debilitating fall from grace. All you need are resignations!
Don't feel bad for these newly unemployed tech stars. The tech sector they reside in is fiercely competitve in searching for talent. I'm sure they'll land on their feet...or inside Electronic Arts (EA).
