Salesforce revealed plans to chop potentially thousands of jobs worldwide within weeks.
Salesforce revealed plans to chop potentially thousands of jobs worldwide within weeks, the company said Wednesday, marking a grim start to 2023 for a tech sector that’s already reeling from layoffs.
The tech titan said it aims to cut 10% of its workforce and warned that the potential job cuts could begin in short order, Salesforce stated in a regulatory filing and in a letter to employees from the company’s chief executive officer. “We’ve made the very difficult decision to reduce our workforce by about 10 percent, mostly over the coming weeks,” Mark Benioff, Salesforce’s chief executive officer, wrote in the letter to the company’s employees.
This means that potentially 7,000 or more Salesforce workers could be losing their jobs, based on information the company had previously provided to the Securities and Exchange Commission. San Francisco-based Salesforce, as of January 2022, employed 73,541 workers worldwide, the company stated in an SEC filing in early 2022.
