SHAKEN LEADERS. New Jobs, identities & Activism

an excerpt from chapter 4, Oracle Attacks the General Assembly

To know about company culture has never been so essential, for once hired, you must abide by the norms of their public social charter. A good example of this showed-up in Nashville when Oracle, in May 2021, announced plans to build a massive corporate campus, thus, promising to bring thousands of high-paying jobs to the city. The Metro Industrial Development Board went to work but so did Oracle “activism.” Like a bolt of lightning, the company’s diversity people immediately attacked House Bill 1182 signed by Governor Bill Lee meant to protect school children from gender bathroom and locker-room sharing when athletics are involved.
To Oracle's diversity people and legal team, HB1182 crossed the line; it was bias, discriminatory and violated rights of LGBTQ+ students. The company then invited more than 80 corporate leaders to sign a letter stating their position, shared by the ACLU: Tennessee is anti-LGBTQ+ – and furthermore, Oracle will pursue a fight with a Republican-led House which, they state is endangering transgenders in schools.

A job seeker who may oppose such a political and social environment within the Oracle halls in Nashville may not wish to apply. This demands a career-assessment mentality.
