Owning a company is safe? Not at all. It might not be called a “layoff” but you can sure fail at it. Also, you can maybe build something people want today but we can’t predict what the future will bring. It is comforting to think we have some influence on our fate. But also comforting (more comforting, I think) to let go of the illusion that we have control.
