It's a good view to have. HR stands for human resources. The company views you the same way as a EC2 instance. They make layoff decisions the same way they spin down servers if their AWS bill gets too high.

People aren't identical and they take time to ramp up. You can't just fire someone and then later get back someone exactly as good.

Sure, but if you only have cash for one person's wages, that's a cost you can eat in the future, when or if things improve.
