When a new position finally opens up in his sought-after department, Carlos reaches out to you, his supervisor, asking if you think he has the skills necessary to get the job. You answer honestly that you do not feel he is ready just yet. Later, Carlos learns that you encouraged a coworker to apply for the same job after they spoke to you about their interest. Upset, Carlos applied for the job anyway. Neither he nor his coworker was picked for the position. Was a prohibited personnel practice performed? No, because you gave your honest opinion based on Carlos's current skills when he asked. Yes, because you encouraged another employee to apply for the job that Carlos wanted. No, because Carlos applied for the position despite your feedback. Yes, because you weren't encouraging despite this being a sought-after department for Carlos.
