Its acquirer (Bending Spoons) has taken over operations. They’ve also hiked subscriptions prices and told customers they intend to use new revenues to pay for new features. How they intend to do that without any staff is something I would like to know about.

If you’re still using Evernote, probably a good time to stop.

How is that a bad thing? Genuine question.

Laying off tenured employees in high cost locations to get newer people in earning less, and possibly fewer benefits. Bad for morale, knowledge transfer, and it's a way to erode pay and benefits for employees globally.
