I feel bad for those who are unhappy with the way things are. But unfortunately it isn't anything new or uncommon. For another example of corporate greed just look to some of the comments employees of Dreamworks are making on this site about their management.
What you can do for yourself is believe in yourself and do something that makes you happy. It takes a bold move to leave a steady paycheck but how long is that going to be around? For some it's already gone. When you put your future in the hands of people that you don't really trust, who's the fool? Time to bet on yourself.
