Salesforce to cut staff by 10%, close some offices

  > "As our revenue accelerated through the pandemic, we hired too many people leading into this economic downturn we're now facing, and I take responsibility for that." Another CEO taking the blame. Lets be real. Salesforce just isn't a great product...atleast from a marketing technologist point of view. Or the product has not evolved?

    From a developer perspective, trying migrate a behemoth of a salesforce instance to their new tooling (Salesforce DX) in order to introduce version control and pipeline checks has been an absolutely horrible experience.

    What does “taking responsibility” actually mean though? Is the CEO actually receiving any consequences?

    > Another CEO taking the blame. No, Marc Benioff is marketing the blame. If he were to take the blame, he'd relinquish his position as CEO.

  5 months of severance is pretty amazing.
