Eh, it's not all that big of a problem of you know how to deal with it (protect your own interests, not the company's, by making conservative choices as I described above). I work 35 hours a week, make $125k/year, have good benefits, like most of my coworkers, and am doing relatively interesting work for a company that isn't completely evil. Sure, my boss can scapegoat me if I let him make technical decisions, but I don't. That's a tradeoff I'm okay with. I'm always on the lookout for something better but I'm happy where I am. And besides, most people who think their bosses won't scapegoat them if something goes wrong are naive. If it's your job or theirs and they have the power, you're screwed. It's better to avoid the risk and not put yourself in that situation. To be clear, I'm not saying don't take risks. I'm saying wroth risks on your own behalf.
