Thread regarding Salesforce.com Inc. layoffs

What's happening in Australia/Asia?

Curious to know what departments or roles are being cut as a trend... Maybe some insight into what's coming for Amer. Are they cutting co primes (sd, sales and post sales)? SDRs? BDRs? Core AEs? etc.

Any insights appreciated...

Agree Max will have no trouble integrating but he sure is an @H!

I hear Astro is on gardening leave-it's going to be really tough for him with such a specific skill set.

Max never brought into that Ohana BS so he'll have no trouble integrating into a new environment.

SEs are impacted and the cut is deeper than expected.

Hopefully they'll dump the toxic PS leadership in Oz and start over

Not necessarily. Tons of bloated orgs that wouldn't change flow of work to SEs... they're not the ones twiddling their thumbs now and I'm not one. Let's see what "leadership" thinks about this

SEs will be impacted.

Does SF not have a ratio of AEs:SEs? Obviously not 1:1 or even close to that, but if there is a ratio, how can you expect SEs not to be impacted?

Comment below me can't possibly come from an insider. They would sooner get rid of AEs than solution engineers... Nothing gets sold without them.

@gri+1kZOIt1y if sales will be heavily impacted, this would have to include SEs

The axe is already falling in Australia. Sales leadership so far today.
