If employees were to do ruthless "business as usual", people would join a company, not work much, jump ship to another within a few months. Wasting everyone's time, energy and money. How does that sound?

That sounds optimal. The game is the game.

People leave jobs all the time.

In your analogy companies hire people, train them, pay them and their recruiter, have them not contribute meaningfully and then fire them. And this is profitable why?

As an employee I think every time you do that you are burning some credibility (assuming you are honest about your work history)

You are, but like you said, only if you are honest. But why are you being honest in a game where the rules are "business as usual"?

You speak as if this is a hypothetical thing that literally no employee is doing? What it sounds like to me is how a certain segment of the employee population is already behaving, so you hardly need to hypothesize about how it sounds when you can just consult reality.

It is time for a larger share of the employee population doing this. Just keep hopping without producing much of value.
