It certainly hasn't been my experience.  My bosses really like it when 
I make something happen and it doesn't cost them much of anything but 
my time.

Certainly,  my bosses aren't open source zealots.  We are an Oracle 
shop.  But ever place I've worked,  when I bring in important 
improvements in network reliability and monitoring or now trouble 
ticket tracking with RT the response has been ecstatic and the fact 
that it doesn't cost anything has been huge.

The added luxury of being able to modify and look at the code has been 
icing on the cake.

My experiences have mostly been in relatively small shops (50 - 300 
people) over the last 10 years in California so take what I say with 
an enormous grain of salt.

But really,  to me,  it sounds like there are better jobs out there 
for you.
