Tech layoffs 2025: Salesforce to slash 1,000 jobs as it joins Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, and more in cutting roles
Briefly

Salesforce is preparing to lay off over 1,000 employees, an announcement not yet confirmed officially. This follows similar reductions at other tech companies like Meta and Microsoft, signaling a troubling trend in the tech industry. Although this represents less than 1% of Salesforce's 73,000 workforce, it is part of a broader pattern of layoffs across major firms, with Meta reportedly reducing about 5% of its staff. Despite these cuts, Salesforce is also actively hiring in certain areas, particularly to enhance its AI services for clients.
It's also worth noting that these cuts aren't a net job reduction at Salesforce, as the company is also currently actively hiring salespeople to promote its AI offerings to customers.
In mid-January, Facebook parent company Meta Platforms announced it would cut about 5% of its workforce.
