Sonos CEO behind disastrous app exits with $1.9 million severance (arstechnica.com)

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.

Same

The main thing I noticed that the “advanced” stuff disappeared, I can’t debug what signal my Arc is receiving any more.

On the other hand I’m not going to buy any more Sonos stuff either and if I find a valid replacement (Atmos, wireless, minimal app involvement) I’ll switch.
