Jack Dorsey’s Block is cutting jobs (again).
The company — which owns Square, CashApp, and Tidal — is reportedly laying off over 930 employees and closing its open roles. It’s the company’s second recent layoff, after cutting similar numbers in early 2024. Dorsey explained the cuts in an email sent to staff and shared by TechCrunch:
