Salesforce, the titanic San Francisco corporate software company, is conducting layoffs — a first this year for the tech behemoth.
Details remain sparse, but according to Protocol and a laid-off employee who posted on LinkedIn, about 90 employees were affected. (A majority of the affected staffers were contractors in the company’s recruiting department, a Salesforce spokesperson told SFGATE; as we’ve previously noted, Salesforce has been vague about whether contracted workers count as “employees,” or “Ohana.”)
In addition to the layoffs, Protocol reports, Salesforce is enacting a hiring freeze through January 2023. The move is small but significant; large tech companies, on the whole, have been reluctant to conduct layoffs even as startups and other fledgling companies are shedding employees.
