i waited a year and got no joy so i left, 10 months later go a p/t job in the office i wanted, then made up to full time.
tried meeting with the DOM, got a letter from my line manager singing my praises but could not get a transfer, been here for 10 years now and no one has ever transferred in

3 months is nothing. I waited over 4 years got pissed off amongst others things in the job, so I also left.

Offer to work less hours.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

You've answered your own question CD. The DO you want to move to needs you-but your DIM hasn't heard anything. Is your office short of staff? If so your DIM is not going to let you go and leave himself short. :hmmmm
Don't believe your DIM, it's easy to say, "I haven't heard anything!" get your "New" DIM to put a bit of pressure on, he's the guy that needs you, you'll probably get more joy that way. Good Luck Mate. :Very Happy

As i said in the email to you go down/contact the office and now you've said they want you they may be able to push it along.
Your DOM could be lying.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
