Internal Move Kit
The receiving manager can want you and you still do not go — because nobody gave the person losing you a reason to agree.
What it is
An internal move is not an application, it is a negotiated release. Runs the sequence: whether the role is real, who must agree and in what order, the manager conversation in four moves, the case that beats an external candidate, the handover that leaves a team functioning, and the fallback written in advance — including the review date that stops a declined move becoming two years as the person who wanted to leave. For anyone moving sideways, across or up inside their own employer.
What you receive
the move to another role inside the same organisation, made without burning the one you have — the read of whether the role is genuinely available and who must agree, the manager conversation scripted and timed against your own team's calendar, the case to the receiving manager built on transferable evidence with the gap named first, the release and handover that protect your reputation in a building you still work in, and the fallback written before the outcome
