Sonos, still trying to fix its broken app, lays off 100 employees

Sonos has reportedly laid off around 100 employees on Wednesday, with. workers from the company’s marketing department allegedly bearing the brunt of the hit. The cuts come as Sonos tries to simultaneously sell the public on its new Ace headphones and fix the rebuilt Sonos mobile app.

“We made the difficult decision to say goodbye to approximately 100 team members representing 6 percent of the company,” Spence said in a statement. Designed to address “performance and reliability issues” and rebuild the developer platform with “modern programming languages that will allow us to drive more innovation faster,” the app launch has been a debacle. “I have to say that, I didn’t have both feet in the door to fire Patrick Spence, but any CEO who leaves his employees hung out to dry and then signs the paper that lays them off is a scumbag piece of shit,” u/teryan2006 wrote.
