Balancing Act: Downsizing and Upskilling
Salesforce Shakes Up Workforce: Over 1,000 Jobs Cut Amid AI Expansion
Last updated:
In a move that's sending shockwaves across the tech world, Salesforce is set to cut over 1,000 jobs while simultaneously beefing up its AI team. Employees affected by the layoffs have opportunities to transition into other roles within the company, especially in AI-focused positions. This restructuring follows previous layoffs this year, marking a trend of aligning workforce with AI-driven strategies. The company's AI platform, Agentforce, has been a standout success, clinching over 1,000 deals last December. All eyes are now on Salesforce's upcoming earnings report, due February 26, 2025.
