And I am also surprised that so many people hate AT&T. Sure, their network isn't as broad as Verizon's but I've been much happier with them than I was when I had Verizon or Sprint. Customer service issues are handled in a single call with AT&T rather than 10 calls over the course of several months to work out a single issue with either of the other providers.
I'd say Sony is on there due to everyone's private information in jeopardy from the hacking. Wasn't a good year for Sony. Judging from 2011 alone, I'd have to give Sony the prize.
Why exactly is Sony even in there and Microsoft isn't? Plus the fact the Apple lost already shows that this is a bunch of idiots voting anyway.
Really? Maybe because over he coarse of the last year Sony has had peoples personal info hacked on several occasions....
MS’s crappy security policy got bunches of us hacked as well, including yours truly. And I thought IE was the work of satan?
I hate on MS for business reasons. We spend a bunch of jack on annual/biannual software subscriptions. And then we waste a lot of jack keeping their shit working.
For similar reasons, I’m also surprised the Comcast vs EA voting wasn’t closer. For the longest time we believed Comcast didn’t provide service to their business accounts if it rained.
I was going more for the fact that it is the worst company in America. Which I took as it needed to be an American company. Sony, of course, is not, and Microsoft is. And if I am not mistaken, so are all of the other companies on the list.
Congratulations go out to EA for being voted Worst US Company ! Keep shoot'in for the stars EA !
EA was voted the "absolute worst company in America" in The Consumerist's 2012 poll, defeating Bank of America with 64 percent of the vote. EA and Bank of America fought through four bracket rounds against companies such as Sony, Apple, Walmart, PayPal, Comcast, GameStop and others from a wide range of industries to make the final round. The CEOs of both companies must be thrilled.
Something tells me the majority of voters don't have bank accounts/mortgages, or any bills that they're responsible for. Though EA's greed has irked me on occasion, I've never gotten migraine headaches from the stress of dealing with them. Can't say the same about B of A, AT&T or Comcast.
They're up against Comcast? I'd say they're not going to be in the running much longer.
Well, shit. I stand corrected.

I'm surprised Gamestop didn't beat Walmart.

ignore double post
i understand that alot of the companies on that are subjective to personal opinion but i still dont understand why people hate on attt so much.

Not everyone has had to deal with Comcast. That's the only reason I can think of, but it doesn't matter. BOA will win hands down

How on earth did USPS get beat by Facebook? The USPOS is the worst company in the world, and that is a scientific fact.

How was activision not on that list?
they deserve it. i have a hard time supporting anything ea puts out.

Yeah EA isn't even the worst game company, let alone worst overall. They just tend to attract a lot of internet voters.
I'd put them third in gaming, behind Activision and Ubisoft, but lately they're definitely making the effort to get back on top.
