Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff is threatening to pull his software company’s operations out of Republican-run states if their policies do not align with his liberal worldview, specifically in regard to abortion policy.
Appearing on CNN Newsroom with Poppy Harlow on Friday, Benioff stated: “If you’re not for equality and dignity, then this is something that I cannot work with, and then we’re going to have to exit your city or your state.” [Video]
Before making his threat, the billionaire mentioned that he is dealing with a “series of crazy presidents, crazy governors, crazy mayors” all over the country and world.
When Harlow pressed Benioff on who he thought was “crazy,”

Did he forget that probably half the country, maybe more, is red?

Just so you know. This is what his company is.
Salesforce is a CRM software that is very proprietary and very expensive. There are better options out there, but companies get sucked in, just like people that are sucked into Apple products.
it is a form of electronic tracking that a salesman has to enter daily!
It’s called a CRM or Customer Relations Management software…But is only to track your daily activity and sales and keep the heat on the salesperson or be fired!

What a poseur. Frankly I'd put him on a Harvey Weinstein watch to protect his employees.
But let him put his money where his mouth is.
Let him declare he will not sell to any company with a home address in a state he disapproves of.
Do it, Marc. Or go away.

Seems like the most important thing in the world to this guy, his hill to die on so to speak, is being able to kill the unborn any time, any place and for any reason. Wow.

The Parallel Economy is up and running. We don’t need woke companies, so they can take their marbles and go home. That will make it easier to ignore their influence when the country regains its sanity.
Cell phone companies like Patriot Mobile and others will give good value instead of being ripped off every month by woke companies.
For every one of your necessary purchases, more than likely there is a patriotic conservative, non-woke alternative to the woke ones. We have to adhere to the slow process of weaning businesses off politics. Sell your product and shut up. The “Streisand effect”: Shut up an sing.

Sounds like he must personally know a few ladies that might need an abortion?

Go ahead, don't have offices in Red States. Better yet don't sell your products to anyone doing business in a Red State. Let's see what your software data says when you eliminate a good portion of your customers.,

It’s a public company. If he does this and the board doesn’t fire him, they will be looking at the mother of all shareholder lawsuits for breach of their fiduciary duty to shareholders.

Benioff stated: “If you’re not for equality and dignity, then this is something that I cannot work with, and then we’re going to have to exit your city or your state.” How ìs getting an abortion, killing a child dignified or equitable? Do these people ever listen to what they are ssying?

The good little socially responsible corporate drone has spoken. The person does not have one brain cell capable of thinking for itself.
I would like the CEO to explain how being pro-abortion makes one socially responsible. I would also like to know how being pro-abortion has anything to do with his business. Also, what gives him the right to make demands on everyone around him. What a jerk. Get lost.

Some years ago, hubby and I watched an interview of Benioff in which he (Benioff) kept using the interviewer’s first name in conversation. It was such an obvious sales gimmick. I told my husband that the guy made me want to take a shower to remove the grease. He hasn’t changed he’s just wealthier.

Perhaps pro-life employees can file a discrimination lawsuit if they relocate or maybe even now. They are obviously considered unwanted and feel suppressed.

It was worth reading the article to see the tweet from Tom Elliott directed at CEO Benioff. He was addressed as Uberdouche/@SalesforceOrg CEO@Benioff. That is hilarious!

#4 is correct. I use Salesforce everyday in my work.
Often, I will see a promo for some upcoming SF conference. Featured speakers include various liberals, such as Michelle Obama, who know absolutely nothing about running a profitable business. But they know how to cash SF's enormous check for a few minutes of word salad.

Bring up your Wikipedia. Take a look at the Presidential vote by state so you can view the red and the blue. Start making your plans. Eastern California, Eastern Oregon, Eastern Washington would offset the liberal left coast in the Senate. South Illinois and Superior (Northern Michigan) would offset the Chicago and the Detroit/Ann Arbor vote. North New York .... Or watch Escape from New York and just build walls around the large cities.
Or just fix the voting process and watch many many votes the would normally come in from the big blue cities vanish. Did Biden really get Twenty Million more votes than Hillary? Twenty Million more than Obama in 2012? Were there really 25 Million more legitimate votes cast in 2020 than in 2016? Did Trump really get almost Five Million more votes that anyone had previously received in a Presidential election and still lose? Wow.
