Having a major disruption in your security department can mean an upcoming disaster for a company offering cloud based services. From what this sounds, they not only got rid of 2 very competent employees, the manager doesn't seem to have acted especially brilliant, and they might have discouraged competent security people from applying at the company. What could possibly go wrong with this?
I doubt it will make even a dent in Salesforce's profits or that anybody of their clients will even blink about it.
As for their PR, that's paid for (and customers might even like the drastic action).
Except if you mean PR to prospective security hacker hires.
