In theory, yes. Practically, no.
If an employer chose to not renew it’d have to be for reason of being fired in the same way as any other employee so they cannot just choose to not renew because it suits them. If it was for furloughs for example everyone below you on the list would need to be furloughed first.
Like most visas you need to do something incredibly stupid/illegal to have it cancelled is how it was explained to me by a lawyer when I was looking into it.
