I wish to move to a new position within my company (in a different dept) but my boss won't sign my internal job application because he says he needs to find a replacement first. Whilst this sounds reasonable, I believe this to be an excuse which he can and will use indefinitely, and that he has no intention of attempting to replace me but wishes to delay my ability to get the new position long enough for it to become no longer available. Tomorrow I'm meeting with our HR rep to discuss this, and I don't think it's going to go in my favor because we're already losing several people and I'm sure they want to plug the hole. What other options of recourse do I have if the HR guy is unable to help me out? [more inside]
