Even in sales, there's ramp-up time and then you probably need to miss your numbers for a couple of quarters before you're going to be pushed out. There are probably environments where timeframes will be shorter but a year is probably a pretty rule of thumb for how long it takes to ease out a new hire who isn't working out unless maybe they obviously just lied about their qualifications. And someone who just isn't a good fit any longer for some reason probably has an even longer runway.
