    Wow. Emily you’re terrible. Are you able to ask a hard hitting question? He just said that he’ll rebalance employees every year, in other words fire 5-10% of his employees. No follow up?

    Focus on customers and stakeholders. And not on the employees, a very clear statement

      @Erick Lustre true. However, who creates value in the company are the employees. Having talented people is essential today. Top tech companies compete to attract top talent. I am sure that this message made more than one employee update their CV

    • Erick Lustre

      Adrian Rocha Of course. As it should.

      most ideas for these great companies come from employees who usually just get thrown a bone while management gets all the credit.

    “There’s no lifetime employment at Salesforce,” said the shit eating Capitalist scumbag who laid off 1,000 people while he is going to make enough this year to live a dozen lifetimes. Time to start necklacing Capitalists in the streets.

    “Marc Benioff made $25,969,494 in total compensation. Of this total $1,550,000 was received as a salary, $3,100,000 was received as a bonus, $8,000,000 was received in stock options, $12,000,012 was awarded as stock and $1,319,482 came from other types of compensation. This information is according to proxy statements filed for the 2020 fiscal year.”

      Smart move, I’ve been in enterprise software for 8 years (Oracle, Microsoft) and I can tell yoh Salesforce, google, amazon, Microsoft and other enterprise leading cloud companies haven’t even reached the halfway points of their market caps due to cloud growth
