You'd be rolling the dice that the next guy up didn't like your manager.

In my first job out of college the manager was a micro-managing psycho. If I wasn't at my desk there would be a snide sticky note. Depsite my being more productive (coding so easily measured) than anyone on the team, it wasn't about that. It was about control.

Anyway - Everyone put on her team quit within a year. ...yet the VP did nothing. ...because she got results... Just washed everyone out. Maybe that was the plan? Dunno.

I think you'd be much better off applying for another internal job.
