While the question you are asking might be interesting it has little to do with modeling the situation you describe, since random choices are no choice at all. If there are m 'awful' jobs there is 0 probability of 'matching' unless k(n) > n-m, so everyone is forced to select an awful job. | |

| Jan 12 at 7:47 | comment | added | Dominic van der Zypen | There is such an organization. It is not private, but funded by public means, which might explain that they can afford such a cumbersome procedure. Maybe I should have called it an "organization" instead of a "company". Does the word company entail it is private? If so, apologies, and I will change the original post. | |
| Jan 11 at 23:14 | comment | added | Gerry Myerson | That's why I didn't accuse anyone of anything. So: is there such a company, or isn't there? | |
| Jan 11 at 8:04 | comment | added | Dominic van der Zypen | I believe it is inconsistent with the culture of mathoverflow to accuse another user to tell lies without having solid evidence. (In some countries, it is punishable.) | |

| Jan 10 at 20:13 | comment | added | Dominic van der Zypen | Do you think the existence of such a company is inconsistent with ${\sf (ZFC)}$? | |
| Jan 10 at 17:15 | comment | added | Gerry Myerson | Sorry, I don't believe there is such a company of any size. | |
| Jan 10 at 16:51 | comment | added | Dominic van der Zypen | The company doesn't have thousands of employees. | |
| Jan 10 at 16:16 | comment | added | Gerry Myerson | Sorry, I don't believe there is any company that plays such a game of musical chairs with its employees. | |
