Why? Paperwork. Seriously, they said paperwork! Trying to give the guy an out, I suggested "Office Politics." Nope. He stuck with paperwork. Then I pointed out it would cost our employer double a years wages to replace someone that quit because they weren't allowed to make a lateral move. He acknowledged that, and reiterated that lateral moves aren't permitted because of paperwork. Thankfully, my brain to mouth filter finally engaged (better late than never), keeping the next thought to myself... "how tall do you think $75K worth of paper is?" My employer prohibits lateral moves, period, dot, end of story.

And you are exactly right. The unwritten rules that lead "who" is in charge to "do what" and "why" is the toughest part of the HR job.
