I think alot of the people on this site can relate to your post....we seem to have similar mentalities when it comes to those things, not all of us have masters degrees, heck some of us might not even have graduated high school....but we all seem to have good work ethics, all considered team players, have a healthy respect for who writes our checks, and overall people seem to like us...
I personally have worked for small groups or private employers...and have been fortunate...can leave one place for a better opportunity, get a goin away party...and am always asked if I want my job back....I make good, good money...but dont have any of the backups...pensions... benefits...etc...that larger groups have...but I also am not the sole breadwinner...so I can bank almost everything...most of you I assume cant do that..
I also have seen persons who have put their hearts and souls in public or large private service and have been beat to death by that system...and most always thru no fault of their own..heck look at the CEO's who are on trial for running a company in the ground and the employees are left with nothin or a pension plan gone bust...if that doesnt warrant crawling on top of a water tower I dont know what does....
I have also witnessed alot of people who dont have the good sense to get out of their own way and do nothing but sit in the system and count their vacation days ease out with a monthly check for the rest of their lives...
I guess what I am trying to say..is the old rules of hard work and fair play...dont always apply now....but the old sayin " Nobody is gonna take care of you, but you, do"
