How does this work for risky, or longer term, projects?

I was tangentially a part of an experimental project that didn't produce any meaningful results for ~2 years. No one was fired.

Risky projects were fine, because your manager understood the risk. Long term was fine too, because presumably you had intermediate goals that could show progress towards the goal, or at least progress towards disproving the thesis.
