When almost all industries all around the world are facing losses due to the unwelcomed COVID-19, Salesforce announced a whopping revenue of more than $5,000 million in last quarter. However, events turned out to be weird when just after disclosing its quite promising financials, Salesforce disclosed how it had laid off 1,000 employees in the prior month. The laid-off employees have been given 2 months to find any other vacancy though.

This turnover is also more surprising because the company itself underestimated its revenue streams due to the assumption of customers having hard time in paying up the company due to the vulnerable state of the economy. Nevertheless, the company still went ahead in firing almost 2% of its workforce last month.

After this bumpy road of revenues and lay-offs Salesforce’s CEO, Marc Benioff, took to his twitter how his company will be taking 4,000 new employees on-board in the next 6 months and 12,000 new employees in the coming year.

Well it seems like the institution is quite confident due to this inflow and deems itself capable enough to offer more than 10,000 jobs in next year.

If things go as planned then Salesforce will be having more than 60,000 employees with it in the next year.
