Salesforce has quietly reduced its workforce earlier this month, impacting under 1,000 positions, sources close to the situation report. Multiple employees shared on LinkedIn that their jobs were cut, with roles spanning marketing, product development, data analysis, and the company’s Agentforce AI initiative. At least nine such updates surfaced online, backed by details from affected workers who spoke with reporters. These changes coincide with leadership transitions at the firm, where six new executives stepped in to fill spots left by five key departures announced since last December. In a related note, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff revealed last August that AI tools helped shrink the customer support team from 9,000 to 5,000 employees. Key Highlights: Layoffs hit various departments, including marketing, product, and data teams. The reductions total fewer than 1,000 jobs, per insiders. This follows broader efficiency drives, like AI-driven staffing adjustments.
