[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d nod my head and then leave the second I found a new job.[/quote]

I did this - left for new job - and now I get to watch the dumpster fire at my previous place of employment and gloat. My replacement is in over their heads and my former boss will have to answer for the failure.[/quote]
[b]I don't see what the big deal is.  The employee still has a job, still getting paid the same amount of money, and still working with the same team.  Moves like this only happens due to poor performance or the person doesn't have the right skillset for the position.[\b]  With my company, certain positions requires a certification  and/or a degree.  We hire employees who walk through the door with Neither.  However, in the contract they accept the job under the condition that they will get a certification within 6 months or enroll in college courses to obtain a degree[/quote]

Maybe, maybe not.  Even if it's for poor performance in that job, unless it's a welcome shift for the employee, manager has to be prepared for the employee to walk or disengage.  Also as other PPs note, manager has to consider how it will look to others. If it's clear that the person was doing a bad job, fine--other staff will see the move as positive.  But if it's not clear, or if the person is widely perceived as doing a good job, then expect other departures and disengagement.  Ask me how I know.[/quote]
