So in October I decided to move out of state to go to college full time. I don't actually move till January. I talked to my HR ETL and put in my transfer request. He told me we had to wait for the other store to contact him and he would let me know what to do next. A month goes by and still no word from him. So i finally asked him if he had heard anything, he tells me that they still haven't contacted him. Another month goes by and I start getting worried. Now every time I see him I ask about my transfer. And every time I am told that he hasn't heard from them yet. Fast forward to now, my last scheduled day was last Saturday. Before I left the store I confronted him and asked him what was going on with my transfer. His response was, "I'm sorry I don't know what to tell you. They haven't reached out to me and I cant force a transfer." So i finally just call the store myself and they tell me that they saw my transfer request when I first put it in and were waiting to hear from my HR ETL. After talking to the other store it seems like they are going to have a spot for me and my transfer will work out.
My question is who was wrong here? Was it my HR that didn't do what he was supposed to be doing to make this transfer happen? Or was it the other store who was supposed to reach out first? Or was I supposed to just do it on my own? Is this something I can call the hotline about? If this guy cant do his job I don't think he deserves one.
There have been two other team members at my store that had a hard time transferring with my ETL. They ended up having to call the other store themselves just like I did. Now that can't be a coincidence can it? Seems like he could have done more than just send one lousy email. I gave him 3 months notice and still nothing was done.
This just really bothered me and I was wondering if anyone had any input on this kind of thing.
