      It’s dumb in dating as well as hiring.

      I mean, do you really want to limit your pool to people who are desperate enough to suffer such indignities?

        If you want the individual to be submissive, yes

          I recently landed a new job where the salary range could be considerably higher than my last gig. Predictably, I was hired at the base of the range. It’s still more than my last job, but having been laid off from a struggling company, I felt no power to negotiate. Had I still been employed, it’s more likely that I’d have balked and said I want better than the base pay.

          Job listings are lies like people on dating apps using filters on their photos.
