Job-seeking is awkward enough without your boss finding out—especially right before your annual review.
But that’s exactly what happened to one employee who took a chance and applied for an internal role that promised better pay and new challenges.
They didn’t expect much to come of it, but when the interview invite rolled in, they jumped at the opportunity.
Unfortunately, their company has a policy of notifying managers when someone applies for a new internal role.
Now, with review season in full swing and hopes of a long-overdue raise on the line, this employee is left wondering if their chances at a promotion have just flatlined.
It’s the kind of corporate catch-22 that makes you question how transparent you really want to be at work.
The post has sparked a lot of debate on Reddit—read on to see how it played out and what others had to say.
