Salesforce announces another round of cuts at San Francisco headquarters

Salesforce will lay off dozens of employees at its San Francisco office on Oct. 5, marking its fourth set of reductions in under a year.

A filing with California authorities shows Salesforce will terminate dozens of staff at its 415 Mission St. campus on Oct. 5, the latest in a series of workforce reductions at the San Francisco headquarters. The announced cuts include 37 technology and product jobs, 34 administrative roles and three positions in sales and distribution, though the company did not specify which groups are affected. Salesforce has not indicated whether further layoffs are planned for other locations.

The move aligns with the firm’s strategy to embed artificial intelligence across its operations, even as it reported $11.1 billion in revenue for the quarter ending April 30 and logged $80 million in restructuring expenses. Earlier reductions this year saw 86 jobs cut in June, hundreds in February and 262 in September 2025. The company has not responded to requests for comment on the rationale behind the latest cuts.

Why it matters

The layoffs highlight how major tech firms are reshaping workforces while emphasizing AI-driven growth.
