I'm trying to swap over to another department in my company because the one I am with is with an insufferable boss and bad hours. I had an interview with department B and they seemed really interested but I was later informed by a boss of dept A that they no longer had room for me so I carried on with position A.
A colleague left department B so I reached out to department B again for an opportunity and was told that they had been told by department A that I was no longer interested a few months ago. I have clarified this to be a misunderstanding with department B and that I am still interested. I have since then heard there was a new hire for department B. I did not think to reach out then but did when a former colleague of department B let me know they were in need of staff. I reached out again and was told by two staff of department B that they need people, but later on, the boss of department B told me the positions are already filled. With newer hires, I have been with this company for years. I am a top performer in department A so I know this is not related to my performance at work. Departement A is not easy and they struggle to find anybody to do it. I suspect this to be that they are trying to keep me at department A, and have organized internally so I can't swap over.
I don't know what to do anymore
