This company has faced backlash for its post-acquisition strategy of implementing steep layoffs to streamline operations, often gutting original teams shortly after buyouts. In February 2023, it cut 129 employees from Evernote, followed by restrictions on the free plan to just 50 notes in November 2023, which drew user ire over reduced accessibility. The pattern repeated with Filmic, where the entire staff was laid off in December 2023 after its 2022 acquisition. In July 2024, Bending Spoons acquired WeTransfer and axed 75% of its workforce by September 2024, then capped free transfers at 10 per month starting December 2024, sparking complaints of aggressive monetization.
