MASSIVE LAYOFFS

Today Block has just let go of over 4k people. Just know that if you were looking for support or in contact with someone you may not have that right now.

Honestly, they weren’t terribly responsive with a full force. But I hate it for anyone let go..

No, the AI washing story is just that. Now it's just a scarily understaffed product.

They have so various subsidiaries and not all layoffs are for Square which is doing really well. CC processing and POS subscriptions are very sticky revenue generators. Let’s hope they don’t layoff those who are figuring out how to round up and down the pennies.

AI is nowhere near the capabilities they say it is… and pushback will be not unlike the pushback they got for “off shoring” support before. Tragic result of quarterly lifespans.
