I don't think you are being too 'dramatic'. But I think you misunderstood the part of being a contractor: you are much more likely to get your contract terminated to economic reasons, or a switch in company vision, rather than your work output.

I'd think twice during these pandemic times, unless the deal is very good and is something you would really regret if you didn't accept.

I've worked in many big companies and also did some contracting and their first resort is to fire all the contractors when shit hits the fan.

The main reason they hire contractors is that they can be flexible when those hard times comes and terminate them, while having a bit wider pool of workers. The contractors on the other side enjoy higher compensation. but on a higher risk.
