I just left Salesforce, and on the way out I talked to some folks who saw Slack as the last decent corner of the company to work in (while that lasts). As someone who worked at a company Salesforce acquired, I can say from experience that tinkering with pricing and packages is how it starts. Next will be tight integration with Salesforce's nightmare monolith, and then a mountain of compliance bureaucracy burden as salespeople try to convince government agencies that they need something they don't and that making compliance burdens more and more insane is good for them (when in reality it's just a transparent attempt at giving Salesforce more of a "most" around their business to keep out any upstart competitors who might otherwise enter the market with the same or better product for cheaper). If the current pattern holds, this will culminate in mass exodus from engineering and a promotion for some execs for "strengthening Salesforce's position in the marketplace" while "cutting costs" in the form of reducing the number of salaries they pay out)
