I wonder if anybody has any experience and / or advice please.
I have been successful in my application to move to a different department of the same global company that I work for. It’s a better paid job with higher salary and is largely recognised as being a progression in my career.
My start date in the new role has been requested by the hiring manger to be early to mid January 2024 but my current manager is refusing to allow me to transfer until the end of January 2024 “at the earliest”.
My current manager is devastated that I’m leaving to take up my new role and has openly stated that he “won’t make it easy for me to go”.
I’m worried that my transfer will fall through because I’m not being allowed to move as soon as I and my new manager would have liked.
Any thoughts, experiences and advice would be greatly appreciated.
