Janey's move to the new location was not a promotion, as stated in the passage, and therefore cannot be labeled as an advancement or vertical move. It also cannot be a forward shift, as this term typically refers to a change in job duties within the same position. A lateral transfer is the most applicable term, as it refers to a move to a different job or department at the same level of responsibility and pay. Janey is still a manager at the new location, but with additional tasks and responsibilities, as mentioned in the passage.
