   TL:DR; The Salesforce CEO at a company's annual all hands gathering asked international employees to please rise in the audience, then made a "joke" that ICE agents were in the back of the room ready to nab them.

   Guillotines for billionaires is the moderate choice at this point

     @mathowie
     There is someone on his staff -- probably multiple people -- who get paid to tell him not to say that

     Had the guy I was speechwriting for ever slipped in something even *one tenth* as awful as that, I would have fired myself

     And not just because it would have woken me up to who/what I was working for, but lzo because I would have considered myself a failure at my job

     Just... holy shit

     What a fucking monster

     @adr I recently learned Benioff worked for Larry Ellison at Oracle for years before starting Salesforce and things begin to track after that

     @adr it was his OPENING! HIS LIGHT HEARTED JOKE.

     it sounded so light for a little chuckle, not terrorizing your own employees in front of literally everyone.
