Tech workers in San Francisco just got another brutal reminder that our silicon overlords are coming for their jobs. Salesforce, the cloud computing giant nestled in its towering downtown headquarters, is ruthlessly slashing jobs while singing the praises of artificial intelligence.

CEO Marc Benioff isn’t even trying to sugarcoat it anymore. In a recent interview, he casually dropped that he’s decimated his customer support team from 9,000 to 5,000 employees, all thanks to AI’s magical efficiency. Talk about a corporate mic drop.

The AI Job Apocalypse Begins

The latest round of layoffs hit 262 San Francisco employees, spread across sales, administration, and technology teams. But here’s the kicker: Benioff is framing this mass exodus as a “transformation” into what he’s calling the “modern Agentic Enterprise” - tech bro speak for “robots are taking over”.

Corporate Doublespeak at Its Finest

When confronted about potential job displacement, Benioff has the audacity to call AI job fears “alarmist”. Meanwhile, he’s literally replacing human workers with chatbots that can apparently handle customer support just as well. The cognitive dissonance is truly breathtaking.

The Silicon Valley Shuffle

Salesforce claims they’re “working to ensure the vast majority of employees find new opportunities”. Translation: Good luck finding another job in this AI-dominated tech landscape, folks. Welcome to the future - hope you learned to code… or better yet, learned to code AI.

The writing is on the wall, and it’s written in binary.
