Salesforce says it doesn’t regret laying off nearly 4,000 employees. It also says those layoffs weren’t really about AI. And it definitely says it trusts its AI models. So why do the headlines feel so contradictory?
In this episode of Leading Change in the Wild, I break down the confusing and revealing signals Salesforce is sending about workforce reductions, Agentforce, and what trust really looks like when AI moves from pilot to production.
📉 Here’s what I unpack:
- Why Salesforce’s AI driven layoff narrative never quite added up
- How mixed messaging from leadership is fueling confusion and skepticism
- What internal comments reveal about trust, accuracy, and AI readiness
- Why clean data, governance, and business logic are being re emphasized
- What Salesforce’s pivot back toward rule based automation signals for the broader market
AI is not magic. It is a tool. And when even the largest software companies are recalibrating expectations, leaders need to pay attention.
This moment is a reminder that AI first is not a strategy. Real value still depends on people, process, and foundations that cannot be skipped.
👇 Let’s discuss:
What do you make of Salesforce’s shifting narrative?
Are you seeing similar disconnects between AI promises and reality in your organization?
