I work at very big corporate organization and recently experienced what I strongly believe is retaliation after initiating a relocation request and internal transfer (with documented HM interest and peer support). Got married and requested relocation request, after this was denied, I applied for an internal role transfer closer to my family.
Despite no prior feedback or documented concerns, I was placed on Focus right after OLRs and my manager delayed responding to the hiring manager for nearly 2 weeks, causing the transfer to fall through. Since then, I’ve received vague, retroactive feedback tied to old deliverables that were never flagged before.
I’ve compiled a strong case, timelines, emails, peer praise, leadership recognition and plan to escalate this to ER/HR with a formal request for a confidential investigation.
Has anyone here gone through a similar situation? Did HR actually help you? Any tips for navigating this while protecting my role and reputation?
Thanks in advance — this is extremely stressful, but I know I’ve delivered and I want to stay and grow at position I’ve earned through hard work.
