Episode notes

The company has been having a bit of a tough time. Growth has been slowing down, and Salesforce's story for the 25, 24 years that has been in business has been growth, growth, growth. I think the story has become a little bit tricky for the company and has found a barber of Benioff. The cuts they've already mentioned, I think that is going to help with March.

Salesforce reported better than expected earnings on Wednesday amid a fight with activist investors, Bridgewater Associates is set to cut about eight per cent of its workforce, and Chinese factories are on a charm offensive.

Mentioned in this podcast:
