Salesforce has announced the layoff of 1,000 employees amidst a plan to hire 2,000 new sales representatives, particularly to meet the soaring demand for its AI products. While the job cuts accounted for over 1% of its workforce, the company reported that its sales have increased by 9% across the first three quarters of fiscal 2025, indicating that these layoffs are more about shifting priorities towards AI rather than being motivated by financial struggles. The new initiative, Agentforce, aims to simplify AI use for non-experts.
