Heard from a friend that Salesforce sent impacted emails this am to engineering, sales, RVP and VPs. Layoffs happened across US, Canada, Australia, India, NewZ, Europe. All hands scheduled today to share the same update It’s not incremental. It’s to layoff the rest from 8k they were initially targeted
I thought they already did layoffs like a couple weeks ago.
They had to wait until q4 close/end of fiscal to affect the sales teams.
+ international as they wanted to read the laws under which we overhired
8k was not completed previously.. it's not incremental
Updated
Wait, so everyone has been sitting around knowing the second round was coming? That doesn’t seem good for morale
They did additional layoffs this morning at 6am Eastern. Solutions Engineering team and Sales at least affected.
Additional?
Software engineers including architects were also affected.
happening in Australia/ New Zealand. Not sure if they happen in US
Any update on Canada?
I hope whoever planned execution of these cuts gets axed as well.
They didn't reach the 8k yet I assume
I am thinking they did… the slack channel count now reflects that about right. Some folks have not yet lost slack access..
XDay05 I'm still seeing the count as 79k+ in slack. Do you know how many have been laid off so far? Is it possible to get it form count in slack channel
Anyone from india. ? Is it done or more emails are expected ?
Kinda disgusting in my opinion to get people busting their ass to close out another record fiscal year on 1-31 and laid them off 2 days later. Bad optics man…#nohana #ohanamyass
Best employer if you look at the ratings.

I am starting to think Chinese interviewers currently fail non-Chinese candidates on purpose.
Wait, is this incremental to the layoffs announced earlier in the month?
No. This is the second half of the already announced 8K.
