I have heard that if i didnt leave the country and work for the same employee then i do not have to renew it to stay for another 3 years. Please let me know if this is true.

Your employer will need to extend your status or find another employer, if you are eligible - you cannot simply remain in the U.S. You are allowed up to 6 years in H-1b status in the U.S.

Your employer needs to file an extension petition before your current H-1B expires.
