According to a Bloomberg News story, Salesforce plans to fire around 1,000 workers as it focuses on AI-powered products.
The US-based corporation is aggressively hiring for positions that fit with its AI expansion strategy even as it makes layoffs.
Although displaced workers will be given the chance to apply for internal jobs, it is still unknown which particular departments would be affected. Regarding the layoffs, which take place at the start of Salesforce’s new fiscal year, the company has not yet released an official comment.
The customer relationship management (CRM) behemoth had 72,682 employees as of January 31, 2024. This is not the first round of layoffs in recent months; according to earlier sources, 700 workers were let go in January 2024, followed by another 300 job cuts in July 2024.
With more than 1,000 paid contracts secured for Agentforce, the company’s platform for developing virtual AI agents, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff has highlighted the company’s expanding AI-powered products.
