This is not a persecution complex. As long as you are employed by a company, you are engaging in a business transaction. Once they determine you are no longer worth the expense, they will cut the expense, then your are no longer welcome in Googleville.

Where's the corporate police? The thought crimes?
If the argument is that consolidation of employers and landlords is worrying, then we can have a discussion.
If the argument is that the corporate police is gonna kidnap you, then you're just a conspiracy theorist with a victim complex.

I personally never mentioned thought crimes, rather my argument is based on the rather fleeting nature of even full time employment in todays age.
The corporation had no loyalty and has no obligation to you beyond what was agreed upon when you got hired. A termination for any reason means your entire life is uprooted. In addition to finding a new employer, you are now looking for housing. That idea of vulnerability is terrifying to a lot of people and will cause further asymmetry in the employee-employer relationship.
