Block will lay off 8% of its staff after weaker-than-expected Q4

The news: Block reportedly laid off 8% of its staff, affecting more than 900 people, per TechCrunch.

  • The company is also closing its 748 open roles, except those at the offer stage or that are critical operations or key leadership roles.

Block also conducted major layoffs in January 2024, cutting around 1,000 staff members.
