Salesforce Cuts 59 Jobs in Seattle Amid Tech Layoff Wave

Salesforce, a major customer relationship management platform based in San Francisco, is laying off 59 workers in Seattle and Bellevue. The layoffs will occur at two worksites: one located at 929 108th Ave. NE in Bellevue and the other at 744 N. 34th Street in Seattle.

The company's Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) stated that 'the terminations are not the result of, nor will they result in, the relocation or contracting out of the company's operations or the affected positions.'

A range of positions will be let go, including software engineers, marketing roles, product managers, and technical support. Affected employees are expected to be laid off on Oct. 5, and the terminations will be permanent.
