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 Trumps 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."

Fine. It will only improve the company.
Polisner is a fool
Amen to that. Just another leftard drama queen...

Strong skill sets are not required for such things.
It really reminds me of me. Why, I remember back in Dec. of 2008 I thought to myself {This 0bama guy is screwing up the country so bad already I think I’ll quit my job.} And so I quit my job.
Yeah, yeah, that’s the ticket. I quit my job and my wife Morgan Fairchild and I went Galt for 25 years. Yeah, we got an early start, but when 0bama was elected we knew then that was why we quit.
Larry is still around behind the scenes. I think it’s doubtful that she did this without his knowledge.
We are in a civil war.
What a whiner.
Fire them
I'd bet my lunch money this clown wears his hair in a pony tail.
“The job will probably be taken by an H1B. In this case Id be for it.”
It does make me re-think the H1B’s a bit. If these pointy-heads will not support their own country, we’ll probably do better with non-Americans that are just happy to be here.
...maybe H1B’s aren’t so bad after all.
Nothing quite like publicly burning bridges.
Jobs wasn’t political in the conventional sense but, man, he could get a stick up his ass over random things. No telling if he would have worked with Trump. He supported Perot in ‘92, but that was because Ross was one of the main investors in NeXT.
Whut evuh....Queer....
Who gives a damn? They can always quit if they don’t like it.
Hey, I’d be more than happy to fill the position of any snowflake at Oracle or IBM who are “angry” because their CEO wants to help MAGA!
Just tell me where I can find the open job reqs and I’ll take it from there!
Yep, especially since they whacked Seth Rich.
