    The more you beg for the job, the more it signals to a prospective employer that you need it and don’t have alternatives. That means they can string you out much easier.

    Desperation facilitates exploitation.

      It’s often far less malicious. People don’t get positions of mediocre responsibility because they’re evil. Usually they’re just mid managers who need more help and want to pick people who actually want to work, and their own job rides on making a good decision.

      Because ya’ll, you would be astonished how many shitty people show up for shitty interviews.
