Layoffs rock San Francisco’s largest employer as tech giant replaces workers with AI

Salesforce is set to eliminate dozens of jobs at its San Francisco headquarters, making it the tech giant’s fourth round of layoffs in less than a year as AI is implemented throughout the company. 

The cuts will occur on Oct. 5 at the company’s 415 Mission St. office, according to a notice filed with state officials Wednesday. The jobs eliminated include 37 technology and product positions, 34 administrative roles and three sales and distribution jobs.

The company didn’t identify specific teams or reasons for the cuts. It also didn’t state whether more layoffs would happen at other Salesforce locations.

The cull comes as the company promotes artificial intelligence as its main strategy for growth, while reporting impressive financial results.

For the quarter ending in April 30, the tech company reported $11.1 billion in revenue, according to its first-quarter fiscal 2027 results. 

Salesforce’s Q1 financial statements included $80 million in restructuring expenses. 

The latest cuts arrive after three earlier rounds of layoffs at the company’s San Francisco headquarters. In September 2025, the tech behemoth shed 262 jobs followed by hundreds of layoffs in February and 86 in June.

Salesforce did not immediately respond to the California Post’s request for comment on the reasons for the layoffs or whether more are coming.
