Salesforce is the latest tech company to cut jobs with 700 layoffs, report says::The job cuts, which amount to about 1% of its workforce, follow a series of layoffs last year.
LOL their biggest expense is their data storage and transfer, surely. This is a company that MUST be raking it in since so many high-profile clients use them. This issue is really about greed.
I think most companies biggest expense is in fact payroll. I would guess that’s especially true in tech. 700 people. Let’s imagine on average each cost the company 100k/year (pay+benefits+taxes+admin+etc). That’s 70 million dollars a year, and probably a very conservative estimate.
For one, you forgot the additional $30MM going straight to Benioff’s pockets.
They also spent all that money on the massive dildo fucking San Francisco’s skyline.
Can you please tell me what they do. I have heard my work uses it but they sure as shit ain’t selling anythings
It is sales software. You can put in an account for some business plus all the contact people you’d ever need. Then you can track all of the emails and such that go through. Think of it like a ticketing system, which some people have forced it to do, that focuses specifically on the needs of company sales.
Lol that’s amusing as the co I work for develops and sells a ticketing system (itil based)
Cough sn cough

Oh, again? They laid me off in January of 2020. I had a six-week-old child at the time; heartless, cruel timing, even if the pandemic wasn’t about to shut everything down six weeks later.
Marc Benioff and his smug smile needs to stop acting like he’s somehow better than the other CEOs. He’s just the same as all of them.
Marc Benioff: “This was a hard decision, and with heavy hearts we must immediately reduce our wage slaves by 700. This was not an easy decision for my bean counters to disrupt these lives, but it was an easy decision for me to destroy their dreams. There are emotions of some kind that I may potentially be feeling.
“Thankfully, any tears that may form in my eyes, either of joy or grief (I’ll let you decide), will be wiped away, effective immediately, by a warm ocean breeze while I’m on my catamaran.”
