Apparently Zynga thought the best way to hastily lay off 100 employees without anyone noticing was to do it during the iPad mini announcement.
We’ve heard from a source with first-hand knowledge tells us that the layoffs did happen in the company’s Austin office. Additionally, The Ville will be discontinued. More than 100 employees were let go and ordered to turn in their computers, phones, and badges — many of whom have been working at the company for more than two years.
