<prompt> Human: Im currently in a salaried position, non-union. We are a very large corporation, and a new position has opened up in another department, a union position that makes 20k more than I do now. Im applying not only for financial reasons, but because I am deeply dissatisfied with how I am being treated long story short: Being forced to work off-shifts and meet unrealistic demands and being reprimanded when I fail to meet them, despite telling my boss from the get-go that its not workable. Ive expressed these concerns before, but the basic answer I always get is Well youre non-union and salaried, so its part of the job. Assuming all goes well and I get invited to interview and given an offer, at what point should I inform my boss that Im going for the new position? Im trying to avoid any backlash, but at the same time maintaining professional conduct. Ive never been in this situation before, so Im unsure of how I should proceed. Thanks!  <response>: Ask HR. Seriously, ask the HR rep or internal recruiter you applied with. There may be company rules on this situation. The last thing you want is to do what you think is right, only to violate an unknown policy.
