I'm not really allowed to agree with SFFP (because I'm not welcome here)...but what he said +1
Would that happen in a similar sized civilian company?
I left a company in 2007 which has 250 000 employees and in which I was doing exceptionally well. They couldn't give a toss.
Many moons ago a young man I read an article in Penthouse (my next door neighbour was a magazine distributor, so I had an endless supply of glossy totty). It has stayed with me to this day...we are all cogs in wheels. You may be a big cog; you may be a small cog, but you can always be replaced and as long as the wheel keeps turning, the wheel won't give a damn.
Maybe an odd place to find philosophy, but everything I've witnessed in my tender 54 years would back it up.
PS people who feel the need to belong to a "thing" and have that "thing" cherish them are often a tad insecure.
