I was, of course, using the story to illustrate the absurdity of the overall situation.
I don't want to leave a secure job for an insecure situation because they're difficult to find. They won't consider a direct hire for a "perfect candidate" -- proving my fears.
My point which perhaps I should have been made more clearly is that they're asking me to leave a direct hire situation for a temp job. They're asking me for a commitment they're unwilling to make themselves.
Power asymmetries suck.

- oceanghost 8y agoNah, you're right. It was unclear.
