It seems like there's a lot of Salesforce consulting jobs being posted now.

So from that, my inference is that companies be shopping, while laying off workers

Fuck this shithole country I hope it collapses

    There was layoffs for salesforce consultants recently. Digital marketing was very in demand during the pandemic, so salesforce consultants were overhired a bit, there was an overcorrection with the layoffs, and probably a correction to that.

    VERY RATIONAL SYSTEM.

    Also, why I do not trust management's estimates on how much jobs AI is displacing. You motherfuckers could not accurately account for how large of a workforce you needed before, during, or after covid, no way you can account for other external factors fuck off.

    "Oh no we overhired!" Aka "We have too many people here that we're paying high wages to. Time to fire them and hire new people at much lower payporky-happy "

      All companies have done since the advent of neoliberalism is stock buybacks, CEO pay packages, bleed people, each hot chip and lie

    I fucking hate Salesforce. Why is every "innovation" just a slick manager-impressing GUI slapped on the same database software, just hosted on someone else's server?

      It's more abstracting away costs to trick people into unrealistic cost-savings expectations than the UI. For some reason telling execs they can replace their 2 expensive enterprise architects, and 3 data analysts, and mumbling under your breath "for the low low cost of 10 times their salary" always works.

          I've had to work with data my colleague pulled from Salesforce. And the one thing I remember was that the output files were inconsistent week to week, like data types and file encodings would randomly change on you. Absolutely baffling considering it's from the main product of one of the largest software firms on earth.

        Makes sense. I'm just a guy inputting data into the garbage database, so I'm unaware of what the actual sales pitch is.
