Q: An employee who has been here only three months just quit. In his exit interview, he said there wasn't enough work to do within his department, and he was bored, so he looked to move on. I asked why he hadn't applied for any number of open positions we have. He said he didn't because his manager said he couldn't change jobs when he'd been here less than a year. This is true. Is this a policy we should keep?
