I work for a tech company that has been around for 5 years and I've been there since the beginning. Since being there i"ve gotten married, and had 2 kids. Only a handful of people have been there 5 years. Most people leave after 2 years it seems...some of course have been there longer, some shorter.
Apparently it's now frowned upon to be at the same job for 5 years. Have other people found that most jobs today want people in and out in 3 years?

High turnover is completely normal in today's workforce. There is no expected loyalty, no pensions to stick around for. If you can find a better offer you simply jump ship without any hesitation.

and what reliable source did you get this from? If you are going to make career decisions off of it, hopefully it was not some internet opinion article, by someone who's job it is to simply write opinion articles.

Yup. If you can find a better deal, go for it. You must manage your own career.
Furthermore, the only way to get a significant salary increase in the same job is to change companies.
The only high turnover jobs I've worked were retail, but I'd say even then it isn't a given that there will be high turnover. I worked one retail job where people stayed for years and the reason was clear: they had a good benefits package for employees (I even got benefits as a part-timer) and employees were treated well. Good jobs have low turnover.
I'm in a high turnover government job. If you are ever in a government/union environment that has high turnover...RUN. I thought it was odd before I took the job but naively figured, "Employees must move on to better things!" Nope nope nope. Let your intuition guide you. Public sector jobs tend to have stability because they offer benefits not available in the private sector, so people who might otherwise leave are inclined to stay. I generally find that good/highly motivated people still end up leaving these jobs, though. In general I'd say turnover = bad.
I work at a tech startup in cambridge, MA that has been around for 5 years now. It's pretty cutting edge and this is what the top people seem to be doing. So...there must be something to this. People wouldn't just be doing it for the heck of it.
yes, but it's also marketing people that seem to be moving around a lot too.
