Oracle poached a lot of AWS employees when it was first getting its cloud offering off the ground.

Looks like cargo-culting has its limits.

You can poach all the employees you want, nothing changes if the management is still thinking SOAP and XML is the latest in technology and alienating your customers is better than giving them a good product

Oracle appears to be ahead of IBM Cloud who poached almost nobody.

True, except IBM just poached all of Redhat.
