I disagree, Slack is an amazing collaboration tool.

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.

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

Hey team! So I was laid off from my SDR position about a week ago. A couple months back, I had an offer for a BDR position that I ended up turning down but I really liked and connected with the manager. Is it worth it to reach out? I applied to other positions in the same company. What about reaching out to previous co workers at a different company? Not sure how to navigate this… please help. Also I’m sorry if this is the wrong bowl to post in.

Is it just me or do 90% of the jobs being laid off by big tech sound made up? Many job descriptions with multiple bullet points that all kinda revolve around the same idea. One of my buddies works for a big IT company and literally just sits on meetings all day. No one really contributing to anything other than agreeing to whatever the speaker is saying. Are these kind of jobs finally being exposed? Six figure employees getting paid to sit and bounce ideas off each other?

Do I just make something else up entirely?

I refuse to tell how much I make now, and then recruiters say that they can't proceed with my application without this information. WDYT?
