You lost me at this point. Many more qualified less pliable candidates exist but neither are the reason for their hiring.
In general the most qualified person rarely gets the position. The easiest to bend is usually what power seeks.
- kbenson 3y agoWhat's with people in this thread spouting absolutes as if they aren't obviously full of obvious mistakes and rebuttals? "Power" also seeks competence. There's no one aspect that is sought is enough to to drown out all the others when hiring, at least not without an outside force requiring it. Do employers want employees that are easy to deal with? Obviously. Is that more important then skill and ability? It depends not only on the employer, but also probably the job being hired for, but nobody wants to hire an unqualified candidate over a qualified one.

Part of being a Marxist (parent comment) or an anti-immigrationist (grandparent comment) is that you're required to believe any statement anyone makes that has the right words in it. Even though you have no evidence for them.
