# Salesforce to cut dozens of San Francisco jobs in fourth layoff round 2026-08-08T12:56:20+00:00 | Technology | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Salesforce plans to eliminate dozens of jobs at its San Francisco office starting October 5, according to a formal notice filed with US state authorities. This is the fourth round of layoffs in less than a year, affecting 74 positions: 37 technology and product roles, 34 administrative, and three in sales and distribution. The company spent $80 million on restructuring in the first quarter of fiscal 2027 despite revenue of $11.1 billion. CEO Marc Benioff linked the cuts to AI efficiency, saying the company used AI to keep engineer hiring mostly flat. The layoffs come amid a broader tech industry restructuring, with more than 125,000 tech workers laid off worldwide this year according to Layoffs.fyi. Earlier Salesforce rounds affected 262 jobs in September, hundreds in February, and 86 in June. ## Coverage - timesnownews.com Tags: AI, layoffs, restructuring, Salesforce, San Francisco, tech jobs Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/salesforce-to-cut-dozens-of-san-francisco-jobs-in-fourth-layoff-round/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
