Yesterday I grew a pair and told my boss I needed to transfer out of our department when I had my monthy progress meeting. I've been here awhile, I'm completely burnt out on the work I'm currently doing, there are open roles in other departments which would provide me with a much more challenging experience than I'm receiving right now... plus, they pay significantly more and I'm more than qualified for the position. I tell the boss, she says that's fine, I can't wait. Case closed.
Not so much. Today an HR manager on our project kindly notified me not to get too excited. Since we are in a rebid for our contract (which, they insist, they fully anticipate they will win), they're very sketchy about approving internal transfers. In some rare cases (for example, when there is an obvious need in another department), they will approved the switch. Perfect. The department I'd like to move to has an open role. I am now waiting to hear back from the higher-ups. My boss made an excellent point, though - one that has already crossed my mind - if they don't approve my move, there's no reason for me to stay here. My job stresses me out to the point where I think about it in my sleep. I don't get paid enough to carry that around with me all day. Time for a change.
