Any idea which teams/areas are affected? What about support? Any news on layoffs in support area?
Yep. 5 months severance, so not bad. But wow, what a way to kick off the new year. My heart goes out to everyone impacted.
Will this cut at salesforce indirectly impact jobs in the salesforce consulting firms like Deloitte, Accenture, PwC, etc?
Was Trailhead hit?
Anyone uses slack is called a slacker . Unfortunately, Salesforce is going to pay big for an awful acquisition
I disagree, Slack is an amazing collaboration tool.

I heard some significant individuals from the revenue cloud product team as well as the usual type of stuff with a mass layoff

Yes, the guy who demoed real-time pricing via external callouts w/QCP at Dreamforce a few years back + owned the new Subscription Management API is gone. Which goes to show you that Salesforce continues to believe CPQ will make them money with almost zero investment in new features, or refactoring to the core platform/Lightning components.

First emails went out by 7am
News is confirmed
Rumour is another 6k to be cut in March 😳 (source: Blind)
Can you link to this?
Is this going to be announced daily emails at 7am for how long? One of them I know didn’t get mail today but does it mean they will get tomorrow?
Any senior devs impacted? Happy to talk/possibly refer into a small (30ish employee) consulting firm with very close ties to a somewhat recent c-level Salesforce departure
I heard the main teams impacted were CSG customer success managers and architects
Tbh salesforce CSG is extremely bloated - there's a few roles that just doesn't make sense... 😔
+ recruiting folks (makes sense)
Any idea if this is an immediate termination or the employee is kept in payroll for the next 5 months. This changes the whole dynamics for an H1-B employee who has only 60 days to find a new job.
I think it's immediate as their slack accounts are deactivated
