Salesforce Cuts Fewer Than 1,000 Roles

Salesforce quietly laid off employees at the beginning of this month, cutting fewer than 1,000 roles across marketing, product, and data teams, according to people familiar with the matter and LinkedIn posts. The move coincides with an executive reshuffle and follows CEO Marc Benioff's August disclosure that AI agents reduced support headcount from 9,000 to 5,000, underscoring ongoing efficiency drives.
