bad tropes and fall guys Options

[puke]

so i was thinking about the awful shadowrun cliche of being doublecrossed by Mr J., and how all the modules are written such that anyone who isnt suspicious of their employer before they take a job is a fool. And I was thinking of this one throwaway adventure we played low level thugs hired to do a job, but were really taking the fall for a more experienced shadowrun team. One Stage Before was pretty much the quintesential example of that, but i'm hard pressed to think of one of the old modules where you werent being double-dealed in some way.

And I got to thinking, does it ever work the other way? Once you have an experienced team of runners (which is basically starting level characters in Shadowrun...) how often does Mr. J. say something like "and dont wory, the cleanup is all planed for you and we are hireing a second team of thugs to be the patseys for anything that goes wrong".

If it is really such a common practice, shouldnt there be some kind of tipping point where it starts to work in your favor? has anyone ever done this for their party, or had their GM set up a run that way for them?
