Silicon Valley: Oracle employees protest chairman’s fundraiser for Trump
hotair.com ^ | 2/25/2020 | Karen Townsend

Last week Oracle co-founder and Chairman Larry Ellison held a fundraiser for President Trump’s re-election campaign at his Rancho Mirage estate near Palm Springs, Calif. At the time the fundraiser was announced, there was silence from The Resistance, which is unusual given the reality of today’s political environment – public figures who support Trump must be shamed and shunned.

It turns out about 300 employees of the American multinational computer technology corporation protested Ellison’s fundraiser but they did so the day after the event which seems like an odd way of going about it. Oracle employs about 136,000 people, so the 300 protesters taking part in the organized effort against Ellison were a small minority. Nonetheless, they persisted, albeit a day late.

Uh, x-squeeze me. Is Mr. Ellison objecting to their political leanings? Is Mr. Ellison forcing them to support someone they really don't? Find another job then. I'm sure there are plenty of folks that would love to work for Oracle. So, until then----fah Q.

Maybe they’d be happier working someplace else! Don’t let the door hit you in the ass.

This has got to be the whiner of the week winner. He should be #1 on Larry’s list of disgruntled former employees

Replying to @sfonplsql

Ellison is telling us that no matter who the Democratic candidate is, he supports Trump. I will not speculate on why Ellison would do this. I will only state that by doing so, I believe he is actively helping Trump undermine the rule of law in our country. That is truly awful.

Steven Feuerstein @sfonplsql

Larry, for the good of Oracle and its employees, for the sake of the future of the United States and perhaps the entire world, please cancel your fundraiser. At least wait until the Democrats choose their candidate to then make your move.

That employee sounds like a horrible person. His language is exactly the kind of “shaming” language we hear libs complain about. What a grotesque attempt to control another person, his boss no less!

Yeah, your comment pretty much sum mine up.

I don't have much patience for people who try to dictate to their employer
on matters that don't concern them.

SO LEAVE!

Larry should take him on one of his sailing adventures and then turn him into an anchor.

Hilarious

Do these people know who they’re dissing?

Ellison is the least touchy feely guy in the Bay Area.

He’ll dump these bozos in a flash and never even think of apologizing.

Valley joke:

“What’s the difference between God and Larry Ellison?”

“God doesn’t think he’s Larry Ellison”

Yeah, well I am pretty sure my employer would promptly fire anyone who dared to scold him about his political leanings (he supports Trump, by the way).

My cousin worked for Oracle after 9/11. He told me they were like IBM in the 60’s—mostly Republicans and pro-American. I thought he was joking. His office manager even had a picture of Reagan on his desk.

I am sure that they could easily find 300 people who would love to have those jobs and be totally willing to keep politics out of the workplace.

Steven, you are a likely candidate for the next garbage truck rider opening. Please let us offer you a fair severance package and by the way, feel free to keep the boot that is stuck in your hindquarters as a lovely parting gift
