Yeah, except don't think for a minute you're a player in that situation, you're the one being played.

By expressing interest in a professional relationship?

By trying to endear yourself to the person you're going to spend 8 hours per day with for the forseeable future?

Look, I'm as anticapitalist as the next guy, but trying to make yourself appealing as a coworker in a job interview is not a sign that you're "being played". Having an appealing answer to the question "why do you want to work here?" isn't a symbol of class oppression, it's a common-sense attribute of work life.
