Salesforce Files New WARN Notices for San Francisco and Seattle‑Area Job Cuts

Salesforce says AI has boosted productivity, reducing the need for some roles.

Overview

  • State WARN filings submitted Aug. 6–7 show new permanent layoffs effective Oct. 5, with notices lodged with Washington and California officials.
  • The Washington filing lists 59 job eliminations across Salesforce offices in Seattle and Bellevue covering roles in Tableau, Trailhead, events and other teams.
  • A San Francisco notice lists 37 technology and product roles, 34 general administration positions and three sales and distribution jobs at the 415 Mission St. headquarters.
  • Company reports and industry coverage show the cuts follow multiple rounds in 2025–2026, and Salesforce has said AI tools have raised engineering output and automated many support tasks.
  • Salesforce reported $11.1 billion in revenue for the quarter ended April 30 and recorded $80 million in restructuring expenses while the filings arrive as other Washington tech firms also announce cuts and the company renews a major Seattle lease.
