Yes, but they don't, because workers outnumber employers, and not all workers are needed, so that employers can afford to say no more often than workers. Everyone who has hired someone or looked for a job knows this.
The result is that there isn't just a competitive transaction between worker and employer, but between each worker and every other worker.
There's not much we can do about this, it's the way of the world, and I'm ready to deal with it. But don't tell me I'm not going into that negotiation with two strikes and three foul balls already behind me.

I've never disputed that. It's the other 5% I'm pissed off at.
