As an employee you can't just see yourself as an individual. You're also part of a workforce, which goes back 120 years (in your case). The company wouldn't be very good at making money without that workforce. Both you and the company are part of society, the smallest unit of which, the family, is at the start of that production chain producing able workers. That company owes your parents, and by extension, owes society. BIG TIME!
Don't you as an individual owe that too, as it gave you the ability to exist and work? Since you voluntarily enter a relationship with the company, they only owe you as much as you agree on. If you agree for them to underpay you, you have yourself to blame.
