Don't apply. And when they ask, give this reason.
And yes, I'm serious.
Either they undervalue the position orthey genuinely don't know that's the perception.

Shouldn't get to that point. I'd schedule a meeting with someone in Senior Management that you know/trust and would be expecting you to apply and assume the role. In that meeting you can go into greater detail than you did here about your lack of interest; and more importantly, what they can do to improve your group morale and have you interested in the role.

well lets put it this way. Do you plan on staying in your current position even if you do not apply because guess what you are now going to be doing her position once she retires on top of training someone on how to do that position who will be making more money than you. It is going to be miserable either way so you might as well take the bump in compensation. I am in the same boat currently and looking for other opportunities but the salary bump from my current position is making it more palatable in the interim
It hurt my head to read that

I will just say assume the person that gets that position won't be as enjoyable to work with as she may have been. Are you going to look back and wish you had applied for it then?

Apply, demand compensation great enough that it makes it worth it. Either you get paid or they hire someone else.
This is the correct answer.

Just apply for it and demand a ridiculous salary they won't agree to.
Either way, you're probably going to burn a bridge.

Yeah I know this is definitely what will happen... but at least they are trying to do it right by getting someone in before she actually retires.

Exactly. They will hire an a-hole who will soon become an over-stressed a-hole, and you life will get worse, without the promotion and pay increase.

Ask yourself this:
Do you prefer to take the job, or work for someone else who is incompetent?

Most bitch about how they could do the job better than the boss does. But IF the chance came to get that job they would back down.

Guys she is not hot. She's almost 60 years old so you can drop that.

Take the job, along with the extra money and the title.
Then, refuse to give a frick about whether you are actually good at it or not. (There's the odd chance you might enjoy it more than you think).
Then, immediately contact a head hunter and start looking for a better company or industry, but from the higher title and platform of your new position.

Step 1 is don't ask the OT.
Just be straight with them that you don't want the job, and share with them what you shared here in as non offensive way that you can. Might be that they realize this, and want to change that culture, and you can be part of it.

Making sandwiches isn't that hard, nor stressful. You should apply.
