I think this is a double-edged sword. When people choose this and show that their jobs can be done fully from home, how long do you think it'll take Salesforce to lay them off and outsource those same jobs to another country where it can get three or... — read more
Did they switch from layoffs to firings?

False advertising
They advertise that you can make $10-$15K in overtime when you get hired or promoted and they’ve now limited everyone to 45 hours per week using intimidation tactics and folks are scared to say anything in fear of getting worse patches in February. — read more

No future at this place
I think it's been made clear to all of us there's no future at Salesforce for anybody who's a hard worker but who refuses to kiss the right behind. I'm sad to say this, but this place has turned into a nest of nepotism and cronyism - and anybody... — read more

3rd Wave
Salesforce is a great employer, better than any other I worked for in the past anyway. Blessing and a problem are the "golden handcuffs". Financial incentives, wellness perks and other benefits make it difficult to leave the company especially in the... — read more
