Does my manager see when / if I (FTE) have applied to open roles?
They say somewhere (I think?) to always talk to your manager about roles before you apply. But it feels like lots of conversations if there are so many open roles. And I’d rather talk to them once something firm is actually on the table to discuss (like an offer).
Can someone advise on the information managers see/don’t see in Workday? And when applying for roles?
Working in supply chain in EMEA we were told to at least stay for 12 months in our new role ( that most of us didn’t want to be in ) to create stability for the part of the business. In my xx years with Nike I’ve heard these „no stretches for now“ „oh nobody in our team can apply for roles at the moment“ too often so I will tell my manager and if they say I can’t apply it’s another reason to look elsewhere ( even more )
In my 1-1, I casually mentioned that I’ve come across some opportunities aligned with my career goals and would like to explore them.
Throw big words that people can’t say no but don’t give details. Don’t over explain.
I didn’t even get an interview so I never brought up again. Boss back then never asked. Case closed.
Make sure if you tell your manager he or she does not go behind your back to sabotage it! I made the mistake of telling my manager and he went behind my back reached out to hiring manager bad mouthing me! Needless to say the hiring manager felt so bad she actually told me this had happened!
No, your manager will not see if you have applied to any openings.
The person saying the hiring manager will reach out to your manager first is wrong. Why would that happen? Every posting has lots of internal applicants and this would be a burden on the hiring manager and not how HR want this to work
Yes, you should in theory, inform your manager. In an ideal world, you would have a great relationship with your manager and he/she would be looking out for you and your career The sad thing is there is such a lack of trust. People are fearful about letting their manager know as they worry they will find themselves on the next layoff list. Also, it is likely a manager could sabotage their employee since they aren’t guaranteed a backfill. It’s so broken.
I always talk to the current manager before interviewing internal candidates. Better for the manager to hear it first from the employee.
First thing recruiter will ask is “have you notified your manager?” There is a banner at the top of workday now when applying saying you won’t be considered during fy25 unless you have manager OK.
There is no way for managers to know on their own in Workday. It used to be that you could check a box that said you hadn't informed your manager and then in theory the hiring team wouldn't reach out until they were giving you an offer. If you are about to get an offer you should know and should have told your manager by that point. So much BS happens though.
You should be having conversations with your manager about what you are looking for and how you want to grow so that its not a total shock when you do tell them you are getting an offer. Unless they are a total jerk, which sadly seems to be the case with far too many 'leaders' these days at Nike, then you can just hope the hiring team doesn't blow your cover. If you tell them you are looking and they begin to treat you differently you should report it right away to the speak up portal or your HR partner.
Yes, tell them. If you aren’t considered at all, they probably won’t know. But you are obviously looking to get the job. And the rule is you tell them, so it won’t be a good look in any scenario where you don’t.
Honestly, getting a new role is the only solid way for a promotion. Why don’t you tell them you want to take the next step and will be applying to multiple roles that fit the bill? This way they are aware without you having to inform them every day.
Your boss won’t get a workday notification but you should tell them before you get an offer
The hiring manager will probably first reach out to your manager. If your manager has no idea that you applied, it won’t be a good first impression for you.
