SAN FRANCISCO, CA — Following CEO Marc Benioff’s warning about a looming “SaaSpocalypse,” Salesforce has officially replaced its casual dress code with mandatory wasteland survival gear to intimidate artificial intelligence competitors.

1. Server Blade Armor — Every account executive must now tape jagged pieces of old circuit boards to their chest. Management believes this protects the heart of the deal. “It chafes a little, but the clinking sound scares the chatbots away,” said Senior VP of Scavenging Brock ‘The Anvil’ Stone. “When I walk into a meeting wearing a breastplate made of recycled motherboards, clients know I am here to survive.” He adjusted a shoulder pad made from a broken monitor stand.

2. War Paint Protocols — Sales reps can no longer use Zoom filters to look nice. They must now smear black toner cartridge dust across their eyes before logging in. “We need to look wild and unpredictable,” explained Director of Chaos Janice ‘Chrome’ Miller. “If the AI thinks we are feral, it won’t try to automate our follow-up emails.” She paused to sharpen a stylus with a pocket knife.

3. The ‘Witness Me’ Gong — The sales bell is gone. Now, when a contract is signed, employees must scream “Witness me!” and spray silver food coloring into the air. “Morale is weirdly high,” noted Head of Tribal Relations Vance Thunder. “Sure, the break room smells like metallic spray paint and fear, but our retention rates are legendary.” He then drove a modified golf cart through a drywall partition.

Editor’s note: Salesforce has confirmed that HR will not cover tetanus shots for armor-related injuries.
