Nicholas Carlson for Business Insider:

“There was one guy who used to work for OMGPOP who was facing a deadline on whether or not to exercises his options. He couldn’t decide, and [OMGPOP CEO Dan] Porter didn’t want him to lose out, so he hired him as a contractor to extend his vesting as well. He made money too. “Every single employee got something from the deal, even new employees who hadn’t reached their cliff. Porter made sure it happened.”

It’s a pretty remarkable story in this day and age, but it appears that OMGPOP’s CEO really made a concerted effort to try to take care of the people who had made it possible for his company to be sold to casual games giant Zynga for $210, largely on the strength of a single great idea – the popular iOS game Draw Something.
