Or is it just a term made up to find an easier reason to reject job applicants?


So it looks like the consensus is “overqualified” is a euphemism for

  • “I’m afraid you’ll leave this job because I’m assuming you’ll have better chances elsewhere” aka “you won’t accept being my slave forever due to lack of opportunities”
  • “I’m afraid you might actually understand how shitty it is here and want to improve things. can’t have that”
  • “I don’t want to figure out how much to pay you when you know your worth”
  • “You cost too much”
  • “I have other reasons, but won’t say them”

    “When we do jobs, we get money for our qualifications! And we get our money based on this, that, and the other thing!”
