This is no shocker, enterprise software companies sell dreams - not reality.
TLDR
- Ex-Salesforce VP Karl Wirth is suing the company, alleging false software capability claims and retaliation.
- The lawsuit centers around Salesforce's Customer Data Platform (CDP) and its "real-time" processing claim.
- Salesforce's Genie CDP software was marketed with the term "real-time" used extensively.
- The lawsuit asserts that the software did not function as fast as advertised, with some processes taking hours.
- Karl Wirth recommended pursuing the capability in late 2021, but it was clear it couldn't be developed in time for the September 2022 announcement.
- Wirth raised concerns about false claims and fraudulent behavior, even considering the violation of federal laws and SEC regulations.
- Lidiane Jones, now CEO of Slack, allegedly engaged in a campaign to damage Wirth's reputation after he brought up his concerns.
- Wirth was fired hours after a one-on-one meeting with Salesforce's CTO, Parker Harris, about his concerns.
