- Salesforce cut part of its workforce earlier this month.
- Staff in teams across marketing, product, and data were let go.
- The cut involved fewer than 1,000 roles, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Salesforce made cuts to its workforce at the beginning of this month.
The cut involved fewer than 1,000 roles, according to a person familiar with the matter.
At least nine employees posted on LinkedIn that their roles had been eliminated. Affected roles included marketing, product management, data analytics, and Salesforce’s Agentforce AI product, according to LinkedIn posts and profiles, as well as two employees who spoke to Business Insider.
The layoffs also come amid an executive shake-up at Salesforce, in which the company appointed six new leaders to replace five high-profile leaders who have announced departures since December.
Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff said in August that the company used AI agents to reduce its support staff from 9,000 to 5,000.
