In a post on the company’s corporate site, Dave Limp, senior vice president of Amazon’s devices and services business, said the company would consolidate some teams and programs. “One of the consequences of these decisions is that some roles will no longer be required,” he said. Limp didn’t specify how many roles would be affected.
Axios reported that the San Francisco-based company laid off several hundred workers. “Our sales performance process drives accountability,” said a Salesforce spokesperson in a statement emailed to MarketWatch. “Unfortunately, that can lead to some leaving the business, and we support them through their transition.”As of February 2022, the customer-relationship-management software company had over 78,000 employees globally.
