Did you have trouble hiring, given the bad rep the founders got when they fired some employees at Skype and pulled back their vested options? [1]

When that news came out I personally became very aware of the absence of a real "Skype mafia", a la PayPal. It might be the old vs new world thing.

I don't know for sure, but I don't think Rdio had any trouble hiring, ever, because it is(was) a service that people love(d).
