Maybe so. Although outside of the US (Europe for instance), businesses are not so trigger happy that they lay people off every other month.

When a company must do budget cuts and layoff, it’s a big deal once in a few years thing. Not bi-annually.

Whatever the frequency is, it’s a risk. Arguably though if you’re remote you’re getting paid HCOL wages while living in a lower COL area, so being laid off isn’t as much financially dangerous as it would be in SF/NYC. Plus all these working years you’ve avoided the stress and drama that goes with climbing the ladder/getting in your boss’s pocket.

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted though, it’s a legitimate concern.
