What should IT companies do in a crisis? Do not pay for housekeeping for employees

Evernote is now faced with a number of problems, including economic ones. In order to reduce their costs, the management of Evernote decided to abandon some expenses. For example, earlier the Evernote company paid for its own employees with cleaning services of their own houses, but now decided to stop doing this, writes Businessinsider. Employees' houses were cleaned every two weeks, but now Evernote employees will again have to grab a rag and a mop themselves.

In addition, any of the company's employees could be transferred to a foreign office, with all expenses paid to him. The corresponding bonus remained, but now the management of the company is trying to monitor what kind of work such an employee performs when working in a foreign office.

Another rejection of bonuses was the elimination of the expenditure item for paying for the charging of electric vehicles of its employees. Previously, employees who have their own electric cars could count on full compensation for their costs. The food of the Evernote employees, although it remained quite high-calorie, but the diversity of the menu had to be abandoned in the interests of economy.

The most significant cost item was the organization of the annual Evernote conference. This year there will be no conference - however, the company's management says that in 2015 such a conference was not planned as it was.

Finally, the company will close three of its foreign offices - Moscow, Taiwan and Signapur, plus cut 13% of the state.
