This is an update to an older post. To sum up my manger refused my transfer request and told me I should quit or move to another branch very far away and as long as he is my manager I’m never going where I want to. I literally begged him for week and he still won’t change his mind, so i went over his head. I know a guy who’s dad is one of the big seniors at my company. I’m talking about like six positions higher than my manger. His receptionist called my boss and told him to approve my transfer. He lied and told them I changed my mind then called me in and told me I still wont be transferring and to stop “bothering” him. I called the connection back and oh boy he was pissed. Next week my boss and his boss are going to an HR questioning about incompetence. Odds are he’ll be demoted. Now keep in mind I didn’t use this connection to get my job, what I had I 100% earned. Am I the asshole here for going over his head ?
