Zynga Employees Flare Up on Quora Over Zynga Stock Price

After a series of nose-dives and precipitous declines, Zynga's stock is hovering near $3 after opening at $10 in December of 2011. It's a surprisingly weak position (even more surprising for shareholders) and despite rallies throughout the beginning of the year that saw Zynga top $14 for a while, the company is now facing the spectre of lower user counts and a difficult upwards climb and the stock seems deflated. In response, an anonymous Zynga user took to Quora to explain how "devastated" he/she felt about the stock crash after working 10 hour days with "terrible management" in the hopes of a payout. The post had 600 upvotes, but since the post has gone viral, it's been seriously downvoted and attacked by other Zynga employees have come out of the woodworks (all anonymously) to counter the original poster's complaints.
