If you are "top-flight" the market has no control over you. Your job security is your knowledge and skills, not the salary you get every month.
Here's a bit of helpful information for you:
Creditors who are expecting your monthly payments on time for credit cards, rent, house payments, car payments, and so forth don't take your knowledge and skills in lieu of payment. Only a fool walks away from his current employer without first securing a position at another, especially in this economy. There aren't enough employers out there begging for "top flight" talent to justify walking away from a job because management ran afoul of your opinion.
Furthermore, knowledge and skills are not job security. Rather, they play a significant role as one of the many facets of job security. Other factors, including attitude, ethics, productivity, and communication skills, play equally relevant roles in ensuring job security. You can have all the knowledge and skill in the world at IT, but if you possess only negligible amounts of any of the other aforementioned traits, then you're no better off than the kid flipping burgers for minimum wage.
