Another couple of rounds of layoffs due to poor holiday performance... It's pretty much been a trend. They will also try to blame it on COVID-19 still and probably not give bonuses, or if they do not very big ones to anyone except executives...

Where exactly does the new CEO fall in this? Her background and experience, while seriously very impressive, is an unclear intersection with the current Bose. And where one might see the natural momentum taking Bose into next year. Her tenure has been so short, it is hard to see she has been much more than a bystander to all of the layoffs in motion this month, the push of new products to market last month, the selling results over the next two months, and the assessment of "more layoffs?" that has been happening each Dec/Jan. It will be very interesting to see when she becomes more visible and impactful to the operations, beyond the current "getting to know you" visibility.
Stow office move to FMH and close Stow?
Close Boston landing if Bose can break the lease?

Bose will not simply go away, but future is gloomy.
A better outcome is to sell it to Amazon or another company before too late.
Many Former Bose employees are already working at Amazon, Bose already sold some ip to Amazon.
Currently Bose still has good relationship with Amazon, but that can change in a few years.
Remember Bose used to have good relationships with Apple, now they are competing and Apple has stopped selling Bose products. The same come happen with Amazon.
A large division being sold? Automotive being sold? Tijuana? Direct sales being stoped all together? Bankruptcy?
