Naoko Takeda was a data scientist at Block's Cash App for two years, per LinkedIn. After over 4,000 of her Block colleagues were laid off last week, Takeda wrote on LinkedIn that the company offered her a roughly 75% pay increase as well as a "retention bonus."

She quit "almost immediately," she wrote.

"I saw my company discard half of my peers and double my pay," Takeda wrote. "That's not an honor. It feels shameful and dehumanizing."
