No, that is specific to Oracle. Here's some references [1]. The other day on HN I read a quote: "What is the difference between Larry Ellison and God? God doesn't think he's Larry Ellison". Can't find it though.

- orliesaurus 6y ago10 years ago or so I started a job at a big corp. and I felt the same after 6 months, I stayed 23 months in total and I said I would never go back unless I had complete "creative" control over my career. I haven't ever been tempted to go back, but those terms still remain if I ever get a call from someone from bigcorp.
