Employees at software giant Oracle are demanding that the company’s Chairman and CTO Larry Ellison cancel a fundraiser for President Donald Trump set to take place this week.

Recode reports that following Oracle Chairman Larry Ellison’s decision to host a fundraiser for President Trump this week, employees at the company have demanded that Ellison cancel the event. Breitbart News reported that President Donald Trump is expected to attend a campaign fundraising event at Ellison’s Rancho Mirage estate on Wednesday, just two weeks before California’s Super Tuesday primary. Ellison will be hosting supporters on a golf outing at his home on Porcupine Creek.

Uh, no. If they wish to DEMAND, they need to take some lessons from grrrrrreta on how to accomplish, well, nothing, with your DEMANDS. Of course there is always the option to leave the company. Of their own free will. Terminating them might lead to some secret back doors or other nefarious computer coronaviruses.

I'm sure no liberal pissed off enough to leave on their own would ever salt the earth behind them...

Ellison should respond “I don’t make you having my politics a condition for your employment and you don’t make me having your politics a condition for be being your boss. That way there’s no quid pro quo anywhere.”

It doesn’t even say “some” employees.

It’s a ridiculous assumption that it’s all.

Plus who cares?

What are they gonna call a strike? :)

They’re not a government union.

The only real damage they can do is sabotage the company by messing up their work.

That can do some damage. But eventually you get caught and then you’re in real trouble.

I wonder what the number actually is.

And what is the number of people who were too terrified not to hop on board?

One current Oracle employee discussed the fundraiser with Recode stating: “It signals what I and many others have always feared. Culturally, Oracle is the type of place where you’ll work with many lovely people who you share common ideals with, but those ideals have to be left at the door in service of the company.”

Now you see right here is the problem in a nutshell. So backasswards! When at work the common ideal is to do what you are paid to do, and unless it's to be a social justus warrior than leave your politics and opinions at the front door of the workplace and pick them up on the way home.

It is no incumbent on the employer to bent to the socio political whims of the employee. If the employee does everything to present a clean safe workplace and delivers on it's commitments of pay and benefits so that the only bitch is 'some' employees unrealistic demand that the employer conform to the employees personal world view? That employee has two choices, shut up and do the job they signed onto or GTFO and try a find a job where the owner let's the help tell him how to think, vote, live.

Liberalism, it's a disease.

Tell them to put it in writing with their names.

When they turn it in, fire them.

In the meantime the WSJ reports about the favorable treatment Oracle gets from the government versus the other tech giants.
