Public

Imagine the optics of letting go of everyone and your last remaining person working on critical infra goes on LinkedIn to say they had to talk to leadership and let them know why he can’t do his job without the people they let go, so they decide to re-hire these people

Imagine talking to people before you let go of everyone

The optics of talking about this so publicly also points to there being no trust of Block’s leadership by people who remain. I hope everyone who gets re-hired asks for at least 100% more money

Screenshot of an engineer at block saying he was the last remaining person working on critical infra for square and weebly and how he had to beg leadership to rehire some people
