AI · companyBlock is laying off more than 4,000 people, taking headcount from over 10,000 to just under 6,000. CEO Jack Dorsey argues AI tools let smaller, flatter teams do the work.
931 employees · 8% of the workforce
Block laid off 931 employees, about 8% of its staff, in cuts CEO Jack Dorsey said were not aimed at hitting a financial target or at replacing people with AI.
Each layoff is an announcement a company made or confirmed, with at least one source. Employee totals add the numbers as stated: “about”, “at least” and “up to” figures count as given, and layoffs without a number count toward companies and layoffs only. Headquarters filters use where a company is based, not where the cuts happen.
