- Eligible U.S. employees can receive up to 30 weeks of severance pay, which is based on their job level, tenure, and age, with additional weeks granted for employees aged 60 and older.
- Senior directors receive 13 weeks of base pay, senior managers and below receive 9 weeks, plus three additional weeks per year of service, capped at 26 weeks (30 weeks for those over 60).
- The severance package also includes six months of COBRA health coverage, extended to 12 months for employees aged 60 or older.
- Salesforce's layoffs come amid concerns about AI replacing traditional software roles, and the company's stock has dropped over 30% this year.
