I just don't see it that way at all. The employer gets to decide who he is going to employ. No one has a right to the job.

I think you're confusing service with supplication. The point is to choose what kind of service you want to provide, and then provide it where it is appreciated. The point is not to do whatever anyone tells to, to be their slave, to let everyone walk all over you.

If two people apply for a job and both seek to serve to the best of their abilities, the one who loses out will not be mad or feel like he is lessened. He will recognize that the other person is better suited, and offers a greater service, and so increases the collective joy of humanity, which is the point. So it's win-win
