Modern Day Jobs: Bounded Reward and Unbounded Risk

I am wondering if the nature of the modern day jobs have changed a lot. I used to think workers/employees traded off their unbounded reward, receiving a salary in lieu of bounded risk, having a stable job. But looks like modern software companies have figured out ways to offload the risk to the employees while at the same time having the bounded reward structure intact. What would be a good strategy for a modern day tech worker against this?
