I am currenty on secondment with another team at work. I am enjoying it and learning a lot more than i would at my usual job.

Another guy is due to start soon and im going back to my usual job. However i know he is currently applying for other jobs (not at the same company) I dont want to have to go through hand over (and another guy too) if he is going to leave soon

Should i infirm the project leader of where my position is now? This however would also look like i want his secondment time, as everyone knows i like it where i currently am

Or should i inform a team leader of my usual position so he can maybe update the project leader of where i am now

Or should i just keep quiet?

Thanks
 
I would just tell them you really liked the placement and that you would welcome the opertunity to continue/do it again if the opertunity was to come up again. At least that way you are not stepping on any toes but letting them know that they can perhaps call on you again if they need.
 
Grass in the best interests of the company. He/She isn't your mate yet I'm guessing so you owe as little loyalty to them as they do to the company.
 
But if he doesn't stay on it's just a whole waste of everyone's time. You don't have to go to the boss with conviction as to get him the sack before he's started. But giving them a heads up and letting your concerns about the situation know can't do any harm. It is then up to management to decide what to do.

Time is money after all and for all we know it could take a couple of weeks in this job he's talking about to help somebody settle in.
 
I think he had a word with a team leader today so i might just ask him whats going on and not say anything to the team I am currently in.

I wouldnt exactly call the guy a mate, but I get on with him in work, go for the occasional beer etc so wouldnt want to be a nob about it
