The other way to look at it is to see it as very intelligent filtering by the author. If I only want to work at places that are committed to my mental health, and I have the expertise to get hired at Google, then I might very well be comfortable with filtering out 99% of companies. If the average person sees me and goes "Well I think this person is very unbalanced" and chooses not to hire them, that saves a lot of time for the author.
You could say a very similar thing about coming out as gay. If a man figures out he's gay, he doesn't benefit from still including women in his dating pool. Maybe his dating pool shrinks by 95%, but who cares, he only wants the last 5% anyway. The hard part of dating isn't really finding a dateable person, but narrowing down the set of all people to a mostly optimal one. Likewise, the hard part of finding a job isn't finding a place that's hiring, but narrowing down the set of all jobs to a mostly optimal one.
