What I would add is that as well as there is an "internal knowledge fee" there is also a "good employee/risk fee".

An employee ready to jump ship quicker than his peers means that his value is reduced to the organization, precisely because the long term value of the "internal knowledge fee" is reduced!

I agree with the OP's tactical move, but strategically I'm not so sure the mindset is the correct one. Maybe I was lucky, but I always had managers that stuck their necks for me. Full-time employment is not a consulting job that is fire & forget.

If it wasn't the right mindset, then why are the numbers showing that employees who stay at jobs more than 2 years earn less?

I didnt look at the source of the data, nor I am an expert in the field, but I can see many reasons what that can be ill-portrayed.

There could be a selection bias: does it show how many people switched to a job that turned out to be worse (pay/benefits/quality of work), or people that got fired because they had a much lower tenure than other employees, etc, or the cost of retraining personally for a different position.
