#12The passive voice around laying off employees is always so gross. It didn't magically require you lay off those employees. Someone in your C-suite decided. Own it.
Most of it's not technically in the passive voice (only 'be laid off' in the second paragraph).

#13Does anyone know how many employees were fired?

I think they are overestimating their reputation.
Basically an Italian app publisher with a weird over the top landing page: https://bendingspoons.com/

#15Aaa Europe because it's cheaper to hire engineers is it?
And because that’s where those who bought Evernote have always been located. Why bother with maintaining a US office, and the associated admin work?

I read this as a “we are loved in Belgium” kind of statement.
No one knows bendingspoons. But they are European, so I guess they are slightly more known in Europe.
This, of course, seems stupid to me as it’s not like work location corresponds to brand awareness. And this could be a reason to increase brand awareness, not give up.
Just seems like stupid following more stupid. Or a decision is made for an unknown to us reason and they backed into an explanation.
I think it’s better to just say nothing.

#18I can understand the Bay Area workforce being costly, but how much are they saving by closing down the Chilean office/division?
I guess it’s harder to say given that they never specified where in Europe the work is moving to.

They were bought by Bending Spoons which is located in Milan, Italy.

I suspect Chilean office problem was more related to timezones, if they are moving to Europe.
