About as funny of a joke as Trump 'joking' about canceling the midterms. I think we should frame these kind of things more like "so and so said they would do x to gauge if they could get away with it or not". Calling either of these a joke doesn't make sense. Not funny.
I find it amazing that anyone still uses Salesforce. They were innovating in their early days, but it has been legacy bloatware with more marketing than engineers for a decade now.
Wouldn’t it be awesome to live in a world where powerful people were held accountable for the shit they say?
> Benioff thanked international employees for traveling to the United States for the meeting, and asked them to stand. Benioff then said that ICE agents were in the building to keep tabs on them.
I mean he's more or less saying ICE is like the Stasi which isn't normally a flattering comparison.
There are a few reasons it could be considered distasteful but it doesn't sound like he was cheering ICE on.
An analog to this would be Flock inviting the highway patrol into a staff meeting to 'remind' them about the penalties of speeding - under the implied threat that you would be locked up, transported to a different country, and not given due process to even validate the infraction or face your accusers for merely disregarding civil laws. I'm sure that Mr. Benioff would never use the threat of deportation to keep employees in line.
It was a bad joke but I'm not travelling to the US anymore including for work. Especially since we now have to give all kinds of social networks.
I'm part of the lgbt diversity team also which I'm sure will cause problems.
