Salesforce will lay off about 700 employees, representing about 1% of its global workforce, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Salesforce still has about 1,000 job openings, indicating that this is more of a routine adjustment than a broader downsizing. The company grew aggressively as demand for cloud services increased during the pandemic.
For Salesforce, this is the second round of cuts. By 2022, 10% of global jobs disappeared. Salesforce also closed some offices.
This anouncement comes as major players such as Amazon, Google, eBay and Microsoft continue to make job cuts in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, which saw substantial hiring as employees around the world moved to home-working. The past year has seen a reversing of that trend as projects wind up and some employees return to the office.
