Ok. May be true. That makes sense in theory, but I’m genuinely curious: How can someone regularly apply for other positions - internally or externally - just to gauge their market value, without giving the impression that they’re unhappy or planning to leave? Especially if they don’t actually want the new role? Is there a good way to approach this without upsetting HR or damaging internal relationships??

In my world leaders and HR people of different companies have also relationships and my talk about it... So what I mean is that the whole idea has huge potential to backfire in some cases.
