>Yes, if you live in a country with good worker protection (in the US a lot of "salaried" work is effectively freelance). To extend this, in the US, this is pretty much every reasonably well paying position which falls into this category, so everything is gatekept by at-will, salary, anf exempt status. In principle none of these statuses are inherently bad. In practice, they're abused left and right by employers who have historically had the leverage when it mattered. At-will being highly standard anymore is sort of backfiring now during the pandemic with labor shortages now that labor has leverage for the first time in decades, so employers are getting a bit of the taste of the leverage they created against labor with people dropping and transitioning regularly to stay ahead of inflation or find better opportunities.
