Aren't folks unhappy at their current roles likely to seek other roles internally before looking externally? It sounds like they are more likely to (a) already be unhappy (b) become extra unhappy when a transfer is denied and (c) that leads to them setting off into the sunset.

I suspect that these aren't the folks companies want to keep in the first place.

On average of course, there will be exceptions. Not trying to imply anything about you, OP.

Apologies for the delayed response. My thought process at the time was that if they were the kind of folks the company wanted to keep they would have been able to make the transfer. I could be wrong.
