I came here to say this as well I was at a company for 6 years. Much more after often I would see managers hop every 2-3 years and be the one to get raises and promotions.

I have been in the final stages of a interview and reject an offer for personal reasons, had the manager say to me “I’m looking for people who are here to stay and make a career, so let me know if you reconsider”. He had been a manager for a year and half… I found out not to long ago he left to become a Sr. Manager else where.

These rules around tenure are silly. If you have impact in 2 years or less that’s all that matters.
