A corporation has deeper pockets and less awareness, so you can abuse it pretty far -- stealing triple your salary, obstructing a whole department to make your life easy. When a corporation abuses me they find there is only so much juice to squeeze, since I can't possibly produce more than twice as much as they pay me for.

As a (somewhat lowly) individual contributor the worst case scenario of an individual abusing a large enterprise was probably Jérome Kerviel ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C3%A9r%C3%B4me_Kerviel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C3%A9r%C3%B4me_Kerviel ) and I personally kind of believe in a conspiracy where he wasn't actually working alone, considering the amount of things he managed to do, so he was most likely a scapegoat. And even that worse case scenario lost Société Générale "only" €4.9 billion, for a company with a yearly revenue of €24 billion. Meanwhile the worst case scenario for abuse the other way... is death. There are many, many documented cases of suicide due to overwork and similar abuses. Foxconn was literally installing nets around their office buildings to catch people jumping from the windows.
