Staff at Salesforce allegedly worry that a redundancy announcement may come at any moment. As one worker put it, “people are terrified that (layoffs) may occur at any time,” as reported by Business Insider. Since the beginning of the year, the corporation has been concentrating on cost-cutting initiatives and making major efforts to reduce budget expenditure in response to global economic uncertainties.
The staggering number of Salesforce workers that were laid off in 2022 (almost 73,000) is noteworthy. However, the corporation has indicated that it would take “major actions” in response to the prevailing economic circumstances and in order to reach profit objectives by pursuing cost-cutting measures. Among the recent layoffs was the announcement by Salesforce Vice Chair and Co-CEO Bret Taylor that he would leave the company on January 31, 2023.
Bret Taylor’s resignation as Vice Chair and Co-CEO was made public earlier this month. His last day will be January 31, 2023. As of now, the cloud software firm will be led by Marc Benioff, one of the business’s co back in 1999.
