Sort of. It's a long story, but I got transferred into his department. I was happy in my other department and unhappy in his. So in that regard, it was not a favor. But since the transfer was effectively irreversible, it wound up being a favor in that I could move on and find something better. The other major downside was the stress of being unemployed and having to find a new gig. But it all worked out in the end, so there's that. Next time, I'll keep it to myself until I find another job.
