I guess it depends on your base, but if their revenue is about $100MM/yr (which I highly doubt, companies love to outright lie, but lets be optimistic) then it's still only about $200k/employee, and their employee costs are likely $300k-$400k/employee/year, if not more in their Redwood City headquarters.


First, they now have about 300 employees. The “500+” number is just something you made up, just like you made up your $10mm revenue number.

Second, I’m highly skeptical that the CEO is making fraudulent financial claims in his letter to the employees. Unlike you, he: a) actually knows the facts, and b) is liable for his false statements.

Finally, it’s clear you have some kind of bizarre axe to grind against Evernote, hence the baseless speculation and outright lies over the years. No idea why, but it’s pretty sad.

You can respond if you want but I won’t be reading or replying.
