The best way to get ahead is to start budgeting properly. Get an app like YNAB and get to the point where you can go for a few months without a job. Then, when a company decides to go dark-side, you can afford to leave and spend some time looking elsewhere. The stress reduction is insane. All of a sudden, losing your job isn't the end of the world.
The reason employers have so much leverage is because their workers are living paycheck to paycheck. If workers could just leave at any time for months on end then they would be in a much better situation to negotiate for better pay.
