Salesforce definitely gives off some kind of weird, cultlike, almost Utopian Socialist vibe.

MAGA hat owners. This doesn't mean anyone who voted for Trump, but people who bought the hats have a strong need to defend anything he does.

I never thought about it like that, but you might be right.

This times 1000%, they thrive on pulling folks in and separating them from any sane people around them to indoctrinate them just as a cult does. They are all over the place on college campuses especially around marketing majors, over 50% of the marketing help wanted ads on major online sites lead back to a couple of large MM company's that have dozens of different front names.


This young lady I dated a year got roped into one by her cousins. The company was one of these that made vitamins, food, and cleaning supplies all from natural ingredients. The best part is that the so called studies claiming how great their stuff was were done by an organization owned by the company.

The worst of it is that she would have to bug the people she signed up for this to buy their monthly "points" to keep their so called premium membership.

I don't know if she's still doing it now but she would go back and forth weather or not it was worth doing. I kept telling her it was a scam.

Not shocked as their CEO, Mark Benioff is a big time social justice warrior.

It amazes me today that the company loses money every year and is still in business. It's not even that great of a platform and consultants for it try to push it to be much more than what it is: a web based CRM platform.

eta: For example, they try to push it as an enterprise resource planning application when you have SAP in the background saying "heh, that's cute".
