Other module method can call same way, self.env['hr.employee']._company_default_get()

Did you find an answer to this?

You can create default custom method in the same class. In the method return the hr.employee record id based on required conditions.

Below Example from Default core Module:

def _get_default_journal(self):
return self.env['account.journal'].search([('type', '=', 'general')], limit=1).id


journal_id = fields.Many2one('account.journal', string='Journal', required=True, default=_get_default_journal, domain=[('type', '=', 'general')])

so in my case what should it put inside the domain ?  if i want to get the value of the parent_id field ? 

def _get_default_manager(self):
return self.env['hr.employee'].search([('??', '=', '??')], limit=1).id


manager = fields.Many2one('hr.employee', string='Manager', required=True, default=_get_default_manager, domain=[('??', '=', '??')])

Yes, default which hr.employee id (name) would you like to display, based on that condition will apply.
