On Monday, Salesforce laid off hundreds of employees, the San Francisco tech giant’s second round of layoffs this year. It follows an earlier round in October, when 90 people — primarily contract workers in the recruiting department — lost their jobs.

Salesforce did not disclose how many San Francisco employees were laid off. Most of those affected were part of the company’s sales department, Axios reported. Salesforce has also frozen hiring until January 2023.

“Our sales performance process drives accountability,” a Salesforce spokesperson said in a statement. “Unfortunately, that can lead to some leaving the business, and we support them through their transition.”
