This sounds nice maybe we get a bigger oos event and grill in the park with families

That maybe a little too engaging, I would expect the Park to request at least a Firefighter engine attending the event...

Looking for serious advice for once so so please refrain from shit posting
I've been in my position for 10 months and 20 days, at 12 months I am free to take any job that will take me. This morning I was invited to apply to a position. Typically takes 2 to 3 weeks to get through the application process, and you are stuck in your seat for up to 30 days.
The advice I need
My manager has a huge ego and has had 80% turnover since I joined the team(not my fault his track record shows he's hard to work for). I typically have no issues with him but I get special projects that requires NDAs so he punishes me for lack of transparency.
How do I approach him? I don't want to get tied up in policy

This is a tough situation. Do you know the hiring manager in the other position?
Perhaps they have dealt with your manager before?
I think you need to put in the 12 months, but if the new position looks better, ya gotta be a little selfish
and figure out how to make it happen - if the manager is really difficult, you are probably ok calling HR
for advice without it getting back - just be very excited about the possibility of the new position.
I'm sure they have worked through this before.

Let's not be mean to @The Governor of Maxtown in his own thread...
I am assuming the new position is within the same company?
What @Patrick said plus if it's indeed the same company there's always the (not so) slim chance that you may end up having to work with him again...
One thing to consider is that is generally not a good thing to see in your 'resume' that you jumped ship for a better position before the due time, some could just ignore it but some could just think that's your thing and you will do it to them if the occasion presents itself. But again in a huge company they may not care about it.
Pity for not being able to shit posting on this, I had a perfect reply in that manner...

New manager has never delt with my bu, I'm enter a the field I would like to be used for with a more narrow focus if I get the role. I think it going to have to throw this and it will land where it lands.
If I apply this job is mine, I have been a resource for this team for the past 6 months, and 2 team members forwarded the job to me. It's just internal politics that are going to be a hold up I got a meeting at 345 to make him aware.

I've never been in the same position longer than a year, usually get a promotion to lock me in or get pulled by another team with hire priority so i don't have to navigate the politics like this time.
You can shit post after 4

He has removed me from meetings to close out projects that limits my exposure. The projects that have NDAs come from the team I want to join, at the direction of my VP skipping my manager and director which leave them butt hurt.

@JerseyPete I agree with you but if I wait out the clock the job might not be there.
