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.

Sonos ought to be licensing their protocol as a standard for multiroom audio to compete with airplay. Seems obvious to license it to Denon, Yamaha, etc. I’m using Yamaha MusicCast but if I were buying today I’d standardize on either Airplay 2 or Spotify Connect instead. IMO Sonos is a dead man walking.
