Narrative:
Aircraft X was transferred to the jot/83 sector at FL320 tracking along J89.approximately; 10-12 miles south of the ran/jot boundary I noticed aircraft X executing a left turn. I immediately called the jot/83 sector to inquire and noticed the flight plan route had been changed to direct robby. I asked if the aircraft had just been turned and the jot/83 replied in the affirmative and asked if I wanted the aircraft turned back.no transfer of control and aircraft was turned head-on into the chicago metro southbound departure corridor.what led to the event - in my opinion either an oversight or the culture of 'it's late [day] night' - procedures don't apply.unless SOP's and other orders are considered optional; request control when issuing control instructions to aircraft not in one's area of jurisdiction.carry out some performance management.
