Spence will receive a cash severance of $1,875,000, per SEC filings. He will also get $7,500 per month and serve as a Sonos board advisor until June, and his unvested shares will vest.

If I was this bad at my job, I'd be shitcanned with no compensation. It's pretty cool how we reward failure at the highest levels.

Most of what I use the speakers for (other than surround on the TV) is automatically starting lullabies from Navidrome for my kids at bedtime.

The new app broke the hell out of that whole chain.
