[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a fed supervisor and my understanding is that your agency’s HR needs to respond to the request (not your supervisor unless that is one and the same).  So even if your supervisor is pissed they should not be controlling the process (unless it is a reference they seek before making a decision).  I also believe that legally if it is a a promotion (pay wise) HR has to push it through within 2 weeks unless the employee or requesting agency wants more time.  I am not sure but that is how I believe it works at my agency based on past experience (as a supervisor).  Hope it works out.  Do not give your supervisor more control than they have and make sure your HR knows what is needed.  There shouldn’t be a supervisory approval or button that needs to be pressed.  The supervisor is just informed (by you or HR) where you are going and when.[/quote]

Thanks for this. It is awkward though that the new job wants to talk to current or old supervisor. Without an offer in hand it seems risky but  you cannot get the offer with them making contact for the reference check. Anyhow, good to know about the timing of the transfer and that it is in HR's power to facilitate and not the supervisor.[/quote]
