A former DEI leader at Salesforce is now suing the company for race discrimination. It's not the first time a Black woman has claimed she was discriminated against at Salesforce. In November 2021, the complainant was moved to the Office of Equality at Salesforce, where she reported to the company's Chief Equality Officer. This complainant is not the first Black woman to complain of biased and unfair treatment at Salesforce. In 2022, Salesforce reported that 5.2% of its workforce identified as Black or African-American, up from 3.5% in 2020.
