Happens all the time where current manager wont release you since most likely they wont be able to backfill the slot so they dont want to lose a chunk of the empire. So not in the cards this time better luck next time be happy you still get a check

Thought about doing a grammar check before posting? Yikes!
@a8 - All one has to do is take a look at the techical jobs in oil and gas and post on them. Then wait and see how many get back to you for an interview, and if your lucky enough to get an interview then onto the next round and then the next round of interviews. After all of that still people are getting ghosted by the employer. The only way to see what is going on is test the waters, and you will see what people are talking about in how it has changed and for the worse. The video in the link below explains it well, plus there are many more videos that will help one understand the situation job seekers are in. For sure don't quit before you have a new job, and then even offers are being taken back. It is a dire situation compared to just a few years ago.

@a2 exactly. Laid off today expect 1 year of job search and as we know there will be less oil companies next year…
OP here, @a2 yeah I'm just not enjoying the team/management. There is a team I know I would like to join and would be good experience so the goal is to get to that team
Just be glad you have a job, and maybe it means they think enough of you to keep you. Also, maybe they know something you don't. Like the new job has less security than what you have now. Not all managers are bad and you might have a good one looking out for you. Most will move you when the time is right, but again be glad someone wants you. The job market is terrible, so if it were me I would be happy I had someone that wants me and sees my value. All of us that have jobs need to be thankful. There are so many looking for work, and all you have to do is start searching and apply to see what I am talking about.
