Reading more about the recent Salesforce layoffs and the news about hiring more overseas to save money. It's a bit disheartening to see. We work hard, put in the hours, and then hear about jobs being moved elsewhere to cut costs. It feels like a race to the bottom sometimes. This isn't just Salesforce, obviously, but it's a huge company and it sets a tone. Makes you question job security and the company's commitment to its current workforce. Is this just the reality of the cloud business now? Anyone else feel this way? It's tough when you see the big picture and it feels like you're just a number that can be swapped out for cheaper labor elsewhere. Trying to stay optimistic but it's hard.

Yeah, it's a tough pill to swallow when you see these kinds of moves happening. The global talent pool is certainly a factor, and companies are always looking for efficiencies. It's understandable from a business perspective, but it definitely creates anxiety for those of us on the ground. The constant talk of restructuring and cost-saving makes it hard not to feel like a number sometimes. Hoping for some stability soon.
