"I want to acknowledge the jokes that happened this morning at CKO,"
"I cannot defend or explain them. They do not align with my personal values and I know this to be the case for many of you as well."
"If there isn't, I'll talk about it in the next all Slack call, and then I hope we can highlight what was actually super positive from the morning - real, authentic acknowledgment of the work that you've all done and the importance of Slack right now."
"Marc has so much valuable insight to share on the Agentic Transformation,"
Marc Benioff made jokes about Immigration and Customs Enforcement during an employee event, including a joke about ICE surveilling employee travel. Several employees were angered by the comments. Slack general manager Rob Seaman acknowledged the jokes in an internal message, said he could not defend them, and stated they did not align with his personal values. Seaman wrote he expected a statement and would raise the issue on the next all‑Slack call if none appeared, while also seeking to highlight positive recognition of Slack work. Salesforce did not respond to requests for comment. Other executives urged a public response and recent Slack leadership promotions were noted.
