    whoever answers it well is going to have a leg up, whether it’s asked or not

    No. If you don’t ask the specific question, preparing a specific answer to it isn’t going to be advantageous.

    Would you prefer secret questions you just have to know or would you prefer they just ask you explicitly?

    That makes even LESS sense than the first part! Personally I don’t like my ability to not die to depend on how well I lie about my motivations and preferences. Unless the job is an undercover op where being super psyched about spreadsheets is an integral part of the cover, I guess 🤷

    As for your “would you prefer”, that’s a hell of a false dichotomy! There’s no world where explaining why I’d be overjoyed to work at Blouse Barn is necessary for not being required to be able to answer secret bullshit. None. Even if you believe in infinite multiverse theory.

    Second, if you’re so jaded that you can’t come up with a reason, however minor, you’re probably more trouble than you’re worth

    Yeah, because everyone knows that the only people who don’t have a thesis on why being the night receptionist for The Very Big Corporation of America would profoundly fulfill them must be “jaded” 🙄

    Negative morale is contagious.

    The fuck it is! Mistreating and underway in workers, though? Seems to be a socially contagious epidemic every time there’s a bootlicker convention…

    In conclusion,

    There are multiple good reasons though, and it’s a good question.

    Is the biggest lie I’ve seen since the last time I read about a Trump nominee for chief ruiner of something.
