Is it just me or is Salesforce actively trying to shed long-term employees?

This latest round of layoffs on June 9th hit me hard, and honestly, a lot of people I know who were let go were those who have been with the company for years, building up institutional knowledge. It feels like they're not just trimming the fat, but actively replacing experienced folks with cheaper, perhaps less experienced, talent, or even just automating roles out. The talk about AI (like that Resume Rescue thing popping up) makes some sense, but it feels more like an excuse to devalue the people who've actually driven the company forward. I'm genuinely curious if others are seeing this pattern or if my perception is skewed by my immediate circle.

I've been seeing that too, and it's really disheartening. It feels like the company culture is shifting away from valuing loyalty and deep expertise. The people being let go are often the ones who know the system inside and out, the ones you go to when you have a complex issue. Losing that institutional knowledge is a huge blow, and I worry about the long-term impact on the product and support quality. It makes you question your own future here.

Yeah, it's definitely a concerning trend. The constant restructuring and the recent cuts seem to prioritize short-term cost savings over retaining the seasoned talent that made this place successful. It's tough to watch colleagues who have dedicated years to building up their skills and understanding of the platform being shown the door. It creates a lot of uncertainty and anxiety for those of us who remain, wondering who might be next.
