- Pet_Ant 3y ago...because a false negative is so much worse than a false positive. I'll take less opportunities for more stability. Many people would. That's what this article is all about. Better for most to have less that you can rely on than more one year and less the other and no sense of calm.
- wanttocomment 3y agoYou may be willing to make the tradeoff, but you should acknowledge the downsides. The most extreme example is in academia where they get a lot of stability in exchange for an excruciating job hunt and interview process. And if they don't like the job, they are stuck. I would rather have a world where we can take a chance on someone, then not. If you have all your ducks in a polished row, and look and act the right way, maybe you prefer protection against that.
