Hello,
I recently started a new job in late February of 2017, and am planning to apply this fall to b-school to enroll in 2018. I have had 3 positions before the current one, where my longest tenure was only a little more than a year and a half. Obviously, I can't ask for letters of recommendations from management in my current job - this will tip them off that I will leave them in a year or so from now - will only having letters of recommendation from past employers hinder my business school application?
Thanks!

Hi MbaConfucius ,
To answer your question in short: No, It won't. You can always mention the same reason and say that "since I didn't get a chance to work with them more closely, I believe they will not be able to evaluate my strengthens and weakness rightly.".
Hence, it will not be an issue at all.

As long as it is from direct supervisor (current or former), there is no problem. But the issue starts when you choose a client, for example. There are some schools, Emory and Tuck are example who want to utilize the optional essay and mention why you choose him instead of a current supervisor. KF, for example, told me that they know those problems and do not want any optional essay.
