Should I go for an job I don't really want (with only a $1000/yr increase) just because someone who's been nasty to me will get it if I don't?

This would be a lateral move for me, so it wouldn't be a promotion. It would be a thousand dollar increase, with a different load of responsibilities not geared towards my personality (a lot of sales, recruiting etc). However, there's this guy who's been a total asshole to me, and I know he's going for it. He's only been at the company for 7 months, and tbh he's just a complete jerk. He tries to compete with me. Should I go for it?

Yes

No

Like a lot of things if it’s not broken don’t fix it & if you are happy where you are don’t change a thing. On the other hand let the asshole have it because we are only talking $1000.00/yr here however if it was $10,000/yr or more I would probably go for it.

You'll be unhappy in a job just to spite him? That sounds very childish to me.

if you're only getting the increase just because you don't want your enemy to get it, in the end you're letting them win. you're the one losing in the end, if you're stuck with a job that you dislike.

All that drama for an extra $20 per week? Let it alone and stay put.

No, that’s dumb. Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face

no , if you seek revenge you should dig two holes. One for the revengee and the other for you.

Maybe there is an easier way to get him.

not if you don't want it
