A comment on Zynga: the whole "they treat their employees badly" thing is a lie.

There's no possible way these recent positive-story-about-zynga bloggings are bullshit PR-shill damage control. Zynga wouldn't do that, would they?

Oh, wait, yes they fucking would.

And how could I convince you otherwise? By pointing you to my portfolio site or a linked in account?

Maybe this post is badly timed with all the other negative stories going around, but I thought I'd just address one thing which I believe for sure isn't fairly judged about Zynga.

Which is more likely:

Manipulative scum-company is really actually a nice place to work

or

Manipulative scum-company has gotten really good at putting on makeup to hide it's festering sores.

If you really are interning there, I urge you to leave as soon as possible, and pursue something worthwhile. Persuading entranced people to click on ads - for useless virtual bads or otherwise - is a waste of life and talent.

You only get one allotment of life; choose wisely how you spend it.
