There's an awful lot of angst in the tech industry about what a Donald Trump administration will do, and if he'll follow through on some of the more divisive promises he made on the campaign trail.
On Tuesday, an Oracle employee working on the company's all-important cloud business publicly quit the company via a letter posted to LinkedIn. George Polisner was protesting Oracle CEO Safra Catz's decision to join Trump's transition team.
Catz was part of a room full of tech industry leaders that met with the president-elect last week at Trump Tower in New York. Before the meeting, Catz said, "I plan to tell the president-elect that we are with him and will help in any way we can. If he can reform the tax code, reduce regulation and negotiate better trade deals, the U.S. technology industry will be stronger and more competitive than ever."
Immediately after the meeting, Catz said she was joining Trump’s transition team, even as she remained in her post as co-CEO of Oracle.
Polisner, who is an active Democrat in his state of Oregon, had a long list of reasons why he was wary of a Trump administration, ranging from concerns over how Trump will change Social Security and Medicare to policies on social issues and decisions that will impact the environment.
In his public resignation letter, Polisner explained, "I am not with President-elect Trump and I am not here to help him in any way. In fact – when his policies border on the unconstitutional, the criminal and the morally unjust – I am here to oppose him in every possible and legal way. Therefore I must resign from this once great company."

I thought Larry Ellison ran Oracle.
This can only be described as mass hysteria.
The job will probably be taken by an H1B. In this case I’d be for it.
“On Tuesday, an Oracle employee working on the company’s all-important cloud business publicly quit the company via a letter posted to LinkedIn.”
Well.....buh-bye.
People like that think they cannot be replaced. They find out the hard way that they Can and Will be replaced.
Vowing to enforce the law?
Divisive!
LOL. I hope he had the “Don’t let the door hit your Commie ass on the way out” letter.
The graveyards are filled with those who thought they were irreplaceable. How does society ever continue?!
So many of us went John Galt in 2008. Not surprised to see the enemy do the smae in 2016. However, what they are doing is almost the opposite of Galt: they are protesting the rise of the productive and the fall of the moochers.
“You can’t fire me, I quit!”
I think he is their chief sailor.
“I am not with President-elect Trump and I am not here to help him in any way. In fact – when his policies border on the unconstitutional, the criminal and the morally unjust – I am here to oppose him in every possible and legal way. Therefore I must resign from this once great company.”
Hillary might be looking for a good IT guy.
IBM said they’d have about 25,000 openings next year. ...just saying...
Larry Ellison Stepping Down As Oracle CEO
(September 2014)
“The world needs plenty of bartenders.”
Trump hasn't even been inaugurated yet, and already he is draining a swamp of the Malcontents.
All based on rumor.. and they aren't even giving him a chance.
For every 1 of him there’s 25 others who need their job to support their families.
I’m sure Mr. Polisner has a nice comfy Job and has made some investments has financial ability to essentially retire.
I’m sure he’s a product of a nice college, perhaps Ivy league or one of the big tech colleges. He probably didn’t need student loan and is the byproduct of successful parents.
Thanks blam.
