There are plenty of places where both I and the company have acknowledged that I'm easily replacable (and that was just because I was a teenager with no job skills / experience compared to everyone else. However, some companies would still respect you as an individual and give you credit when you do something good. There are two factors in a job, the hygiene factors and the reward factors. Hygiene factors are ones that make you miserable if they're not met (e.g. pay not being enough to feed you), and reward factors are things that make you happy with your job (e.g. recognition for your hard work). Some companies only attempt to meet the hygiene factors, other strive for both sides.
