Surprise surprise? Kim-Mai Cutler at Tech Crunch:

Zynga confirmed that it started laying off U.S.-based employees ahead of what is expected to be a weak third-quarter earnings report. In all, 5 percent of the company’s full-time workforce is being let go. As of the second quarter, the company had 3,200 employees so the final tally is probably close to 160 employees.

I don’t know about anyone else, but seeing that Zynga logo stamped on top of a game has meant “don’t bother” to me for a long time. Good luck to the newly unemployed.
