Holy Cow. Bending Spoons acquired Evernote and fired 100% of its U.S. staff. > As is the case with virtually all Bending Spoons acquisitions, they promptly fire almost all (if not all) the staff within a few weeks. That happened here as well, with roughly 85% of the staff being let go within the first two weeks, upwards of about 150 people. Generally speaking, the operation profile of Bending Spoons post-acquisition is to raise prices with minimal feature updates, focusing more on the long-term gravy train. I suppose that some people think of software as something you can basically freeze and sell as a cash cow. So sad to see small companies go away. Lacking details, SOMEONE cashed in, and a lot of people are cut loose. The hope is that they find decent work for decent companies that aren't just flipped.
