Did anyone say to only do a whiteboard interview?

No they didn’t, but passing the white board interview doesn’t make you any less likely to be fired unless you lied about your ability to code.
I have never seen someone get fired for things that otherwise would have showed up in a whiteboard interview (at places that didn’t do them).
If you don’t lie about being able to code, you’re no more likely to be fired than if you had passed a whiteboard interview.
