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, I've been happy with my two play 1s for over a decade. But my secret is not updating, and not using the app (neither phone nor windows), I use Home Assistant (Python) and Noson. My other secret is not adding more Sonos speakers, because I believe you need to use the official phone app for grouping or updates.
