Withholding transfer to another department/unit
I was wondering if when you submit applications (as a current employee) to other units/ departments if your current clinician/manager/supervisor can see them and do anything with them?
Asking since there’s some things that are not adding up
- applied to 4 other units within my hospital and for the same position I am currently in so I am already qualified for it
- for several days my status was as “in consideration” and promptly after applying too
- none of these are “sister” units so there isn’t a chance they have the same UD/clinicians overseeing all the applications at once
Then yesterday I received what seemed like automatic rejection emails for all those applications within the same second, like someone just nuked all my applications at once
Then I checked the Job portal, and all those positions are applied for are still listed as *active* (accepting submissions)
So it’s not like they magically filled all the positions and sent that to any remanding applications out there
Then I get an email from shift select (due to my clinician inputting shifts on my account) which means they are active on my account, and I got a phone call verifying payroll for Kronos. All this activity aligning (shift select, HR direct, Kronos) all within the same 20 minute window makes me suspicious. An hour later they stop by our area and give me two very out of character compliments when they are usually dry and not talkative walking by us. It’s all very bizarre but I don’t know if this overreach onto applications is possible but I was wondering if technically it is or they are aware and can interfere like that. I am in policy to transfer, been there 2 yrs now
