Bad reputations!!
Discussion
Started working for a firm in late 2017, good firm, decent money for the role.
Job I am doing is very basic though, bit menial, blokes are fine though.
Issue is I am on a Fixed Term Contract, just been renewed until end of 2018.
New project came up, 4 new jobs all permanent contract, so applied and have interview next week.
Trouble is bloke that is going to be running it has a truly awful reputation as being a first class **** of a boss.
Now obviously I am not daft, take the interview, do your best and see if you get it.
Am half tempted though to say something I know, that is that I am aware of at least 6 people who haven't applied because of him. I will not do it, but maybe might decline the job and inform HR!
What would you do in this circumstance? I could easily suck it up and try it.

Simply am in a contract position, vacancy is for a perm role.
Job I am doing is menial, dull. New job is new project, likely more interesting.
But, manager has an awful reputation! Am half tempted to tell him! Simple as that
I know at least 6 people who would have applied were it not for him.
That is not a good situation for a manager to be in.

It's a weird situation, one I have never encountered before.
In the one hand it's taking you from a fixed term role into a perm role, new project, etc etc.
But I don't work well with pushy and forceful people, never have and this is what he is like. Has favourites etc.
Yes I know it's hearsay, but it is EVERYONE, not just the odd few in a decent size workforce, and the section he runs is a morgue, no banter, no fun, just head down slaving.
And that does I am afraid factor into an opinion, rightly or wrongly.
