There was private dining in the “Ohana floors” at the top of the tower, but that was reportedly an exclusive experience for Hawai‘i-obsessed billionaire Marc Benioff and other executives. ĭining culture varies at different tech companies, so keep in mind that unlike many of its competitors, Salesforce actually didn’t have big cafeterias that kept employees on-site with full-service breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Its effects could threaten to crumble the future of the snack economy and all of the food businesses that have been built up around these tech giants over the years.

In the days following, there have been dire predictions about what the disappearance of tech workers might mean for economic recovery in the SoMa neighborhood - and its reliance on the thousands of employees’ coffee, lunch, and happy hour purchases - and in the city of San Francisco. But Salesforce may have the biggest impact, as the largest private employer in San Francisco, with as many as 10,000 workers downtown, as the SF Chronicle details. They’re joining workers at companies like Twitter, Pinterest, Dropbox, and Yelp, which already made the call that employees will have the flexibility to work from home indefinitely. Salesforce announced last week that employees will be able to continue working from home well beyond the pandemic, declaring: “the 9-to-5 workday is dead and the employee experience is about more than ping-pong tables and snacks.” Most employees will now have the option of coming into the office only one to three days a week.
