Here's the thing though to keep in mind about EA, as bad as they are, the fact that they get voted the worst company in America is really a bit absurd. It has more to do with the fact they are in an industry producing a good consumed by people who are hyper-connected through forums like this one so they organize easily when it comes time to vote.

That's not to say I don't dislike them, it's just that let's get real here for a moment about who some of the other options are that have a wider impact on everyone, a few come to mind that imho dwarf EA, like Acher Daniel Midland, Comcast, Monsanto, every wall street firm in existence all of which played a hand in flushing trillions down the toilet in 2008, Walmart, BP in their America operation that trashed the Gulf, and that's just a few I thought off the top of my head here.
