The only way to deal with such systems is to accept that you're in an adversarial relationship and act accordingly. If you're an employee, organize to get some power on your side of the table.
IMHO the best way to work in tech is as a partially committed, outside contractor. Your counterparty has little leverage over you because you don't have all your eggs in one basket
