Overview
- LinkedIn posts indicate at least four former employees have returned, spanning engineering, recruiting and creative roles.
- Design engineer Andrew Harvard said his layoff was a clerical error and that he accepted an offer to return.
- Recruiter Matt Morris was brought back after his manager appealed to leadership up to the CEO, according to a since‑deleted post.
- Technical lead Richard Hesse said leaders agreed to rehire some teammates after he argued the cuts left critical work understaffed, though not to prior levels.
- Block and Jack Dorsey have not confirmed the individual rehires, and there is no sign of a broader reversal of the workforce reduction that lowered headcount to just under 6,000.
