Salesforce overachieved its profit margin goals in the second quarter, earlier than planned for — and CEO Marc Benioff says “boomerang” employees played a big part in the results.

“A lot of folks felt the desire to come back and help us,” Benioff said Wednesday on the cloud software giant’s fiscal 2024 second-quarter earnings call. “It’s been incredible to welcome them back.”
