Block & Tackle: Job Cuts & the AI Narrative – On my Om

om.co/2026/02/28/block-tackle-job-cuts-the-ai-narrative

What Jamie wrote

Om Malik's sharp dissection of Jack Dorsey cutting 40% of Block's staff while blaming AI — backed by hard numbers comparing Block to PayPal and Adyen. Calls it "narrative substitution": covering operational mismanagement with an AI transformation story. Essential reading for any public company CTO navigating this exact moment.
