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.
i don’t know if any of you lot have experienced the sonos app firsthand, but let me tell you that it is worse than you could possibly imagine. it takes ages to open, has a million buttons, and pretty much all of them are useless. it has a play/pause bar on the bottom of the app that does not go away. if you want to change your speaker settings, that’s hidden away in a menu (within the app) called “system settings”. why would they call it that?
the app makes you type in the wifi password when pairing a new speaker, even if that speaker has the ethernet cable plugged in. the app also doesn’t support certain wifi passwords so i had to change my wifi password before connecting my speaker.
Like I’m a programming dullard but they had to go out of their way to filter out allowable WiFi key characters? I don’t see why they’d even bother…?
maybe they were afraid of bobby tables
I have an easier time using my Home Assistant dashboard to control my Sonos devices rather than the native app. Takes forever to load in Sonos but with HA, it’s near instant.
same here. as soon as i got the speakers set up i closed the app, never to open it again. i would have done this anyway, since i like to have all my things in one place, but the app certainly didn’t do itself any favors here
Holy shit, this is quite the list.
The worst thing they’ve ever done is remove functionality from the desktop app and have it exclusively in their mobile app.
I love the idea of Sonos. Being able to have whole house audio without having to run a shit load of cabling would be a dream come true, except they do it so badly it is often a nightmare.
As a Sonos user, yea - I hate the new app. The biggest annoyance is how long it takes to start up, because I don’t have an IR TV remote I need to use the app to change the volume (or stand up and use the volume control on the side).
