it's really remarkable that square fucked up so badly. they such a huge head start over any other competitor. probably just eliminating the "square" part of the company to focus on cashapp, which is where all of their profit actually comes from

In 3 years from December 2019 to December 2022, Block $XYZ more than tripled its headcount from 3,900 to 12,500.

Unwinding less than half an insane COVID overhiring binge has much more to do with Jack Dorsey's managerial incompetence than whether AI is going to take your job.

https://x.com/bamabonds/status/2027142091596288314?s=46&t=YKr-jZOYUHE15Tew69wt4w

Seems like this is another “say AI is the reason for layoffs even though it’s not” event. Jack Dorsey seems dumb.
