So I work within a HR department so we are relatively close with recruitment. Colleague is a friend of someone in that team and has found out and told our manager that I have applied for another job because “it’s polite” aibu to say some boundaries have been crossed here?

I feel that manager is very off with me ever since.

So I need to tell my manager every job I apply for? Their are tons of low paid part time roles that I am applying for. As I am not managing well with full time.

Just discuss your preferences with them and tell them you'll be applying to roles

It could be that they didn't hear it from you first. Internal roles: tell your manager you are going for them, even just generally. Moving to another employer keep to yourself

Internal role? Definitely protocol everywhere I've worked to let your manager know first.
External jobs: noones business.

Exactly this, it's very standard to have to tell your manager if you're applying for an internal role.

You say you work in HR, surely you should know this for your own company?
