Marky sent the following email to Salesforce employees earlier today.
Hey Salesforce Fans!
It's your fearless leader, Marky Beniffi, here. I'm sorry to say that I have some sad news today - we are unfortunately having to make a 10% reduction in our workforce! I want to assure you that this was not our choice - it was an unavoidable situation.
I want to make it very clear that this decision was not my fault - I blame the people who made the bad decisions that led us to this point.
The cause of these layoffs is our pursuit of a minimum viable product. In an effort to make our product as appealing as possible, we took a few risks that ended up not working out. While it's a disappointment, we're going to stay laser focused on our mission and make sure that we're able to deliver the best solution for our customers.
I want to make it very clear that this decision was not my fault - I blame the people who made the bad decisions that led us to this point. Our team is going to be taking a hard look at what went wrong so that we can learn from it and make sure it never happens again.
I want to thank everyone for their dedication and hard work. I know this news is hard to hear, and I'm sorry for everyone affected. We are doing everything we can to make sure this transition is as smooth as possible.
Thank you for all your support.
Marky Beniffi
