I had an opportunity to get promoted to a different department and he blocked it by saying they cant hire/ backfill so cant let me transfer.
If you're irreplaceable then you're obviously worth more money.

Sounds like you aren't good enough for a promotion then.
Work harder

I'm a big fan of destroying a position manual.
Only did it once. But it was worth it.

You really only see this in lower ream retail shel.

The company may have a hiring freeze where they cannot hire any new employees, therefore, no one can do his duties once he leaves, causing major issues for his current department.
If it's a hiring freeze, then how is there an opportunity for a promotion to a new position?

If you threaten two weeks, you better have another job line up for when they call your bluff

At the very least that line should be thrown in his face during their meeting.
I guess you telling me to stay agile andmove every few years as company loyalty is gone was your warnig that you were planning to screw me over for this promotion. I am sure the director will love to hear the fact that one of his managers is telling employees to look for other opportunities.

Since its his dept fault you can't be promoted, definitely discuss the issues you now have believing in the company and feel deserved of a raise......or else, you would have to seriously consider where your future there lies.

I had this happen to me, or at least something similar. A direct supervisor told me I was his guy and going to get hired as his assistant supervisor.
District manager comes in and says I'm not the right fit at that location, but he wants me in the same job at another location closer to my home. Forces the guy to hire another candidate. I was upset but I thought no big deal I'm still getting promoted.
Nope they transferred someone from another location into the job I was promised. Needless to say I left them in September for a much better career path. So it was all a blessing, it just sucked big time going through it.

They're basically telling you that you're more valuable at your current position than the new one. So tell them your salary should reflect that
Posted on 10/27/17 at 11:36 am to fareplay
seriously what exactly do you do?
how hard would it be to replace you?
why not just ask for a pay raise given your current role?
having a temper tantrum wont help.
how long have you been there? dont be that person that has had 3 jobs in three years, yet despite finding a higher paying job each time you always bitch about everything being the company's fault.
show some sense of loyalty and being somewhat of a company man

If he gets it, great...his company does see his value.
If not, start looking for a new job.

I guess in some cases, but there are definitely cases where the employee has the leverage.
