1.Does "identifying with the company and often moving" describe "You" or "a company man"? I think it's "a company man".
2.If so, Is "who was" omitted in "a company man,(who was) identifying with..."?
3.If it is a non-defining phrase, "a company man" should be identified without "identifying with.." phrase, but "a company man" doesn't seem to be identified without the following phrase. But does it all depend on your thinking?

ex)Companies once provided not only economic security but social identity. Many towns were literally company towns, with
a few big corporations providing most of the employment, and the social and economic infrastructure built around them. You
were a company man, identifying with the company and often moving largely in the circles created or dictated by it.
However, people don’t stay tied to companies anymore.
