How long do you have to stay in a position before you can apply to another position? 12 or 18 months?

18 - but your boss must agree to release you - which isnt going to happen cause all of global bus has a freeze on movement so they cant back fill you right now

when you are broke you try all kinds of nutty stuff

we would never think of firing a few CEO's around here though would we?

I have 20 years here and twice I've moved jobs quickly, once was a couple of months and once was just under a year and neither time did it matter whatever paperwork I signed when I started those jobs. There's a clause at the bottom about "needs of the business" and apparently that trumps everything else. Good luck!

This last post is completely wrong. It is virtually impossible to get HR to waive time in title for any reason if you are occupational. Management can approve a request to get your time in title waived, but it it’s still up to the staffing managers in HR to actually approve it, which they never will. If you don’t have time in title, you can’t even view the open jobs and certainly can’t bid on them.

The ACTUAL TRUE answer is: 0 days... Yes, that is correct, whether you are non-management or "classified as management" you may put in a transfer request the very day you arrive on your job.

If you are management however, your manager can always refuse to release you, regardless of how much time you have in the position.

If you are non-management the time-in-title requirements only apply if they want them to. The way it is supposed to work is if you have not completed the time-in-title requirements for your position then no matter how much net credited service you have you can not be placed in front of someone else that does have time-in-title. (If you are a relative or friend this can be and often is waived and they can waive any rule at any time for any reason and all your uni0n will do is rollover and ask for belly rubs). If on the odd chance that no transfer applicants have achieved time-in-title then the job is supposed to be offered to the most senior person that has acceptable reviews on file, however, see previous parenthesis remarks.

If you are union it depends what job title you have. Some are up to 30 months and others are as little as 9 months. Not sure if there is a requirement for staff/management.

You can apply all you want, if your current manager can’t backfill when you leave, there is no way in he-l you will be released. Headcount vs your career development, headcount always wins.
