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."
