ShadowJ you seem to be confusing my comments with personal attacks, which is confusing as I never once said anything about your own position money or job wise. Not sure how that makes it more or less right for you to comment or call out the company, seeing as unless you used to or currently work for Zynga it is a completely different beast. Trust me though, a lot of people, including myself have been there. I wasn't personally insulting anyone, and I sure as hell wasn't defending the company or their policies. What gets me is you seem to confuse this article with the current problems they are having with EA. That lawsuit is its own beast, Zynga was in financial trouble long before that.
You seem to just assume that just because someone works for a company means they stand for the companies decisions. How about you tell that to the employees at the chick-fil-a chains who are homosexual. I'm sure they are completely ok with the companies anti- gay marriage stance, and I am sure they were fine with serving all of the people that supported it when they had that support day where they topped record sales. You're right, a company is an entity and all the employees automatically must therefor agree with EVERYTHING that company does. Just like I am sure all of the conservative christians that work for general mills really agree with the pro gay marriage stance.
I used to work for a small chain Family Dollar store in a neighbor hood that was mostly the down on their luck unemployed disabled folk of the city. You know, one of those "bad neighborhoods". See the customers that shopped with us had little to no way of transportation, so what did the company do? Jacked up prices on essential items like bread, milk, toilet paper, and other things. Why? Because they knew a lot of people in that area couldn't get across town or anywhere else to get the things they needed. I sure as hell didn't agree with that, but I kept working there because It was a paying job.
Agreeing to work for a company doesn't make you instantly part of the hive mind, you don't instantly give up all human rights and just have to stand for and uphold that image. You have to live with it sure, but that doesn't mean you have to go "See that, that is what I am all about!" Which I feel a lot of the employees in a lot of companies must feel in this day and age.
Why you seem to have taken my comments so damn personally is beyond me. My first comment was simply my view on the comments before me, and the comments I have seen around the internet, and about how those comments made me feel, then you come along and seem to think I was trying to attack you somehow with the first comment or two. What gets me is we are both on the same page as to my point, my whole point was I felt it was disgusting that people were overjoyed to see employees losing their jobs, the employees that are caught in the middle of Zynga and it's policies, the employees who had no say in the games they made or the games they stole from. The ones that simply worked their to get by.
The part that really, really got me was that you seemed to think that my disgust for people being happy about someone losing their job was also a complete and utter refusal to actually think or care about anyone that was or is currently unemployeed. What gets me is that you know how much that sucks, yet you don't seem to get what I am trying to say. I was unemployeed for over 3 years before I found a job, and then lost it due to a lack of income due to cut hours after a year. I was then unemployeed for another 2 years until I found my current job. My utter disgust for anyone who is joyed for the lose of these people's jobs comes from personal history, not some over inflated ego or need to get on a high horse and talk down to people. So before you blow up on someone make sure you aren't in the exact same state of mind they are.
Damn I just wrote a *bleep*ing essay lol.
