Sprint fires employee who let EVO 4G sales figures slip
Daniel Carey
Can you say corporate cover-up? After all, that’s what it feels like. We all know the story by now: Sprint overzealously states the number of EVO 4Gs sold on launch day, then they come out and correct their statement, claiming that it didn’t do as well as they’d originally stated. But now, we’ve heard that Sprint’s official correction came about after an employee posted on XDA-Developers what’s to be believed as “more reputable sales figures.” After accessing Sprint’s internal inventory system, this one brave employee was able to determine that Sprint only sold around 65,500 units — we’re not so sure, but last time we checked we could’ve sworn that analysts had narrowed it down to 150,000 units, hmmm? As you may’ve guessed by now, the unnamed Sprint employee was eventually let go — all we can say is: Sprint, stop sacking employees for doing the right thing!
