Ul'dah though?
Common rhetoric: "Work hard and be ambitious, and YOU can rise to the top!"
*Wystan works hard and is ambitious, trying to rise to the top*
Syndicate: "Kill that guy."
Except the entire Syndicate is composed of individuals who did work hard and got to the top. How they choose to behave with the power is a different story.
People might continue to try their best and say otherwise, but Ul'dah's major redeeming factor is this meritocracy.
