I don't think most admins are worried about losing their job, I think they are worried about cloud services going down or disappearing and having nothing they can do about it, let alone information security and other factors.
Person who works for company producing X says everyone needs X.
If I move to "the cloud" then I have the ADDITIONAL worries of:
1. YOUR connection going down. 2. MY connection going down. 3. Getting access to YOUR facility to troubleshoot a problem. Physical / remote / whatever. Why isn't that server booting? 4. SOMEONE ELSE at your facility annoying the government so that the FBI / CIA / NSA / whatever takes ALL the servers. 5. How do I know that what I legally have to keep private really is private? 6. What happens to my systems when all of your CxO's decide that they need more yachts so they jack up the pricing?
Fuck you, Curtis Peterson. RingCentral is the LAST place I'd put my data. You don't even understand why people are avoiding "the cloud" but you're happy to make up stupid insults to describe them.
10. No one has yet tested WHO exactly the data on those wonderful cloud servers belongs to.
11. What happens if without telling you the cloud provider is browsing your data and selling it off on the dark web
#4 really needs to be addressed. They need to stop doing that. It made sense when the server room was a closet, or in someone's house... it doesn't make sense in hosting environments.

This should be the textbook reasons to avoid the fucking cloud.
Clouds are fine for most end-users, but a potential disaster for businesses.

I am very curious how they are running a public cloud if they themselves are not server huggers.

No no... You see their cloud service runs in the cloud. It is out there... [dailymotion.com]
