it would be good to take a step back and have a global perspective on this.
If you consider yourself as a product in the market what value would you ascribe to yourself . And it also depends on the goals you have for yourself. the demand and supply of the market dictates your value , if what you do is easy and anyone can replace you or you can be replaced by software , then you should probably start to retrain and better position your self .
Having said that a company is also made of people and some people know where the skeletons are buried and how to manage people (which anyone who has tried, will tell you is non-trivial) these skill are valued separately based on the organisation size and age/fame .
