That is laughable. Few, very few companies experience that kind of exponential growth.

Don't be a jerk and cut people off just before their cliff. Do the right thing and reduce the cliff.

Saying that it sometimes takes more than 6 months to really evaluate new hires in specific roles is not the same as saying let's cut people off just before the cliff.

>Do the right thing and reduce the cliff

It is not clear at all that reducing the cliff to 6 months is "the right thing".

Deliberately firing people on the eve of their cliff is immoral. But the solution isn't to reduce the cliff.
