Uncertainty Surrounds Impacted Divisions

However, the report added that it remains unclear which divisions are most affected by the layoffs. As of January 31, 2024, the customer relationship management software company reported having 72,682 employees in its annual filing.

In December last year, CEO Marc Benioff announced that Salesforce had secured over 1,000 paid deals for "Agentforce," its AI-powered virtual representative platform.

Earlier reports indicated that Salesforce had been downsising its workforce. The Wall Street Journal reported in January 2024 that the company laid off approximately 700 employees, while Bloomberg News later reported an additional 300 job cuts in July 2024.
