From Wired:

Rovio has confirmed that 110 people will lose their jobs as the Angry Birds maker also shuts down its game-development studio in Tampere. The layoffs, first announced in October, amount to about 14 percent of the company's workforce.

It had been expected that Rovio would make 130 people redundant but after a round of consultations this number has now been reduced. Rovio said that as a result of the redundancies "several positions" have been opened for internal applications. The actual number of employees out of work will depend on how many new internal positions are filled.

    As far as I can tell from how MBAs behave in the real world, it would appear to be 'how to bump up the share price so you can cash out your stock options and leave for another job before the company goes bust.'

    When an MBA takes over a company built by engineers, you can be pretty sure it's on the fast train to Hell.
