Ever since this recession, people don't trust large corporations anymore.

Most people have not trusted corporations for longer than that. It's not unreasonable to believe that most companies will screw you as much as the law allows and then some. But it's also not unreasonable to allow that there could be other things going on in addition to the daily corporate screwing.
