I don't see the evil in a company needing to lay off employees after shipping a bunch of games that didn't do so well.

Zynga should be more careful the next time they hire somebody wearing a Guy Fawkes mask in their profile picture.

I think that if Anonymous want to protest dodgy labor practices there are certainly far more compelling targets in the US.

However, I would say that if as a CEO you're laying off 5% of your workforce due to poor company performance you should really evaluate your own compensation package, because as a CEO you're meant to stop that kind of crap from happening. I doubt that's going to be happening for Marc Pincus.

This isn't really true. A CEO is there to make sure the company stays profitable. Sometimes, cutting a percentage of the workforce achieves this goal.
