| Employees | support headcount, "about 5,000", as of the interview | 5,000 people | Fortune (news magazine) (grade C)Exact words“I’ve reduced it from 9,000 heads to about 5,000, because I need less heads.” Interview date not stated by Fortune; the report date (2025-09-02) is used as the as-of date. Benioff also said "I was able to rebalance my headcount on my support", and a Salesforce spokesperson said hundreds of employees were redeployed (see facts). Fortune and others call this "4,000 jobs cut"; that is the press subtraction, not a number Benioff gave. Pair row: the 9,000 below. |
