When I'm interviewing, I avoid discussing negative experiences precisely because this bias against it exists, but I find the bias to be somewhat irrational and wish I could be more honest.
I'm not saying I want to dwell on the negative, but if someone in an interview asks me "Why did you leave Company X?", honestly answering that I left because "Company X is badly managed" would be a lot easier on me than making up some bullshit reason, which is what I'm forced to do because everyone is so afraid to speak or hear anything negative.
