This is only true if you are measuring growth in extremely dumb ways. Most metrics for growth are revenue-based and if the growth is creating revenue there is nearly always enough money to pay for the roles created to grow the company. If the growth project fails sure you'll need layoffs but you don't need to fire a $300k developer who creates $1M/year in revenue.
