Hi, welcome sa thread.armitaf said:Dilemma ko po kasi baka ipadala ako ng current company ko sa UK for 2 weeks knowledge transfer sa new role ko sa work....iniiisp ko if sasabihin ko sa boss ko na nag apply ako...

wala pa nmn ako plan umalis agad ng Pinas if magka visa soon kasi ikakasal ate ko ng December..
just not sure if i have to tell my manager cause I might lost all opportunities pero di pa nmn ako aalis
Depends on whether if you get sent to the UK for knowledge transfer, you are "bonded" for a number of years to the company. Sometimes companies, to protect their investment in people, do ask/require people they send for overseas training/exposure to commit themselves to the company for a defined period. If there are no terms like this, then being identified for KT and sent for international exposure may mean the company does value you and has plans for you. Then it comes down to the the relationship and trust between you and your boss and your standing in the company.
If this happens in the immediate coming months, well then you can grab it. But then, with one eye on your plans to immigrate, as long as you are part of your company, you are still expected to perform to the best of your abilities. Cascade your learning in that KT to those under you, building up a couple of persons who can step in and perform in your stead when then time comes to leave. This way, your company does not also lose out immediately, and the transition is better. Knowing that there is someone ready to handle your duties when the time comes for you to leave does often ease the anxiety of your managers and will pave an easier acceptance of your decision. It will also reflect on you - knowing that you put in plans for your organization's benefit reflects on your character. Leave always on the best of terms as possible.
In the end, it is your life, and you do what is best for you. But be wary of burning bridges along the way - your paths may intersect, you may need a referral, a recommendation, a certificate - so avoid this (burning bridges) as much as possible.
/all the best...
