I'm so mad I can't see straight. How many good people were laid off in the last year or so? Thousands! We lost so many experienced employees who helped build this place and for what? Just so the id--ts in charge can turn around and announce the hiring of 3,300 new employees? Fu-k this!

low-cost replacements , manage exposure by letting go long tenure or higher cost resources, this isnt a surprise.
India is Salesforce’s largest ecosystem of employees outside US: CFO Amy Weaver

Rightly so, since 2020, when Arundhati Bhattacharya took over as the new chairperson and the CEO for Salesforce India, the company’s headcount went up from 2,200 to around 9,000 as of June, spread across Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune and Jaipur. Globally, Salesforce has over 79,000 employees in 2023.
Speaking at Salesforce flagship event Dreamforce 2023 APAC edition in San Francisco, Amy Weaver, chief financial officer said, “India is the biggest country of our employees outside the US and it is growing fast. We have more trailblazers and the biggest ecosystem in India than any other country outside the United States.”
I wonder how much of this "rehiring" is PR driven given that salesforce
tends to drive a lot of hype around Dreamforce with all of these press
announcements. An attempt to put a positive spin on the company
based on their earlier layoffs which were poorly managed.
How about rehiring folks who were good performers, but were unjustly
let go? Come on SFDC, do the right thing.
Laying off in US and EU, hiring in India... so common nowadays!
Different type of resource is being hired. AI engineers are replacing sales people. Why are you surprised?
And how many of them are on work visas?
