A tale as old as time… Bending Spoons is who you sell to when you have developed contempt for your customers.

ETA: and contempt for your staff, too, since they basically always lose their jobs after explaining what they do

We're going to see more of this as the web 2.0 and mobile development booms fade, and I don't have a good solution. What do you do when you're a mature SaaS with a solid customer base, stalled growth, headcount for hypergrowth, and investors looking to move on.

They’re literally just a big private equity firm with maybe above average PR

		Same model, but they're more like a holding company for a bunch of tech stuff. They're apparently a great employer in Italy, which is a much better cost structure than the US (from their perspective).

		I cannot even begin to tell you how little I care about this sort of tiny-minded obsessiveness. ETA: For those who downvoted me — seriously, take a look at the number of times this one account has made this one correction. It's just po-faced, insubstantial, intellectual bullying behaviour at this point, correct though it is. It adds nothing to any discussion. I'll flag this behaviour the next time I see it done to anyone else, because it is shitty.
