Seeking Alpha2023-01-04
- Salesforce (CRM) said Wednesday it is embarking on restructuring that includes laying off about 10% of its workforce.
- CRM rose 1.8% in premarket trading.
- "As our revenue accelerated through the pandemic, we hired too many people leading into this economic downturn we’re now facing, and I take responsibility for that," co-CEO Marc Benioff wrote in a letter to employees.
- CRM will also exit real estate and reduce office space in some markets.
- "The Company estimates that it will incur approximately $1.4 billion to $2.1 billion in charges in connection with the Plan, of which approximately $800 million to $1.0 billion is expected to be incurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023," Salesforce (CRM) said.
- Affected employees will receive an email within an hour of the announcement, Benioff said.
