My manager confronted me about having my resume online. [View all]

So in October I transitioned from one job to another within the same company. They told me it was a lateral move, but it ended up being a $10K cut in pay. I've had my resume on linkedin and other job boards ever since then.

This morning I had a meeting with my manager and he said HR told him that my resume was online and he asked me why. So I reminded him about the "lateral move" and the $10K cut in pay.

He said he understood.

But what the hell? I have always wondered if HR people did this, but I figured they had enough to keep them busy. Now I know that they do it and report to your manager. Of course they can terminate you at any time for any reason, but you can't look for a job after they cut your salary?

I don't have anything online that I have to fear having an employer see... but my resume? They're going to confront me about having my resume online?
