Not much. Workers tend to be overworked and abused in both. One has a clown car packed with clowns, the other is basically a big clown car packed with a bunch of management clowns. Both are pretty much on the way to extinction.

Oracle has no clowns. Got rid of them and replaced with clusterfuggers. Clowns are harmless distractors. Clusterfuggers deliberately fugg things up or consequently do it as a side effect of their ineptitude. Only one of these terms accurately describe "leaders" at Oracle.
Effing manager clusterfuggers.
In the circus the bottom line is actually important. If the customers don't show up, then the circus goes under. Very simple and very quick.
Oracle will limp along for years on its previous name. It takes a long time for customers to "get" that a company is dying and they need to look elsewhere. They will, unfortunately, put up with cr-p for a long time. Oracle still has cash to waste on stock buy-backs. Never mind putting that money into actually doing something to repair the company.
$4 billion a quarter, stuffed into LE's stock. Think of how much you could buy with that, the quality people you could hire, the software that could be purchased. We never had any software tools in development, couldn't even pay a few thousand for software to find memory leaks. Nothing. Cr-p tools, cr-p machines to work on, cr-p everything and $4 billion going into the stock every quarter.
For a year of so it was $12 billion plus. What an enormous waste of money.
If there was anything that tells you the top management does not give a sh-t about the future of the company, it's the amount of money wasted every quarter on stock buybacks.
At the circus, there’s peanuts and you may get p o o p e d on by an elephant. Oh wait…
LE thinks of Oracle as his personal stash blah, blah, blah. Rat this, rat that blah, blah, blah, blah.
What was your Employee ID again?
LE thinks of Oracle as his personal stash. He is the top abuser. The rest of them are just following him all the way down the management stack. They are all rats. They know nothing and are not capable of thinking. Some were promoted to their positions in error and some sucked up to get where they are. Incompetent, loser-rats.
"Extinction" may be a little harsh for a company with $40 billion in revenue and 37% operating margins. But, hey, it has to happen to everyone at some time.
I can't disagree with that in any way. there are dozens of dinosaur companies who have limped along for decades before finally giving up the ghost. In this case, though, I have a feeling that once LE is unable yo come down for breakfast, you will see the place picked apart and sold off like vultures on carrion. Just a hunch.
This is comedy, love it.

"You really have it in for managers! They are just being used."
- I would say they are just being useless. Spineless clowns that never push back on anything coming down from above, no matter how obviously flawed the directive is. It's the fault of these id--ts that Oracle has become the shiz show it now is. If they'd do their job by actually pushing back when necessary with constructive criticism, things could be much better.
Effing mgmt clowns.

In the circus, clowns have actually real talent
