Looks like they really are having trouble staffing that project

Just a few days ago I did a post about a project I thought the agency involved would have trouble staffing, given the terms they were offering. Turns out I was right. Today, they ran this ad on The Posse List:

We are staffing a document review project and want to see if you OR ANYONE YOU KNOW are available and interested. Please reply as quickly as possible since the space is limited.
Start: week of June 23
Duration: approx. 3 weeks
Pace: 40 hours/wk anticipated
Rates: $28/hr
Conflicts: form to complete
Location: Metro accessible
Requirements:
Must be DC barred
Prior document review experience
Background check and drug testing required.
If you are interested in this project and meet the requirements, please reply ASAP and:
1. Email me your current resume in WORD format.
2. Indicate your time off needed over the next several weeks, including appointments, holidays, etc. Also, point out any routine scheduling constraints you may have (example, you have to attend class every Thursday at 6pm and would need to leave the project early those nights).
3. If you do any work, outside of contract legal work for agencies, please point it out in your email.
Also, once we submit your resume to the client, you will be deemed to have committed to this project should the client choose you to start. If there is any reason that you may back out, like you’ve been submitted to another project, let me know ASAP.

That is looks to be identical to the ad they ran a few days before, but this time the ad post was titled, "Still Staffing a Document Review Project! Please respond if interested asap!" The exclamation points are in the original.

Everything I said was wrong with the project -- the rate, the short duration, the lack of overtime, the DC Bar requirement, the background check and the drug test and the warning that submitting for this project means you can't submit for any others at the same time (who the fuck would agree to that?) -- still is wrong with this project. The DC Bar requirement is understandable, but it cuts out a lot of newcomers who might take that shitty rate. All in all, given the market, why take this project when you can take this one:

[An agency I have worked for] is recruiting DC Barred attorneys for a project starting on Thursday, June 26th.
Please review the below information. If you are interested, please email your resume in Word format to [the email address for an agency I have worked for]:
*Pay Rate: $35/flat, no OT
*Hours: Mandatory 10 hours per day
*Location: Epiq DC Office
*Duration: Thursday, June 26th through Tuesday, July 1st. Saturday and Sunday required.

Sure, it's a short project, but Rule No. 1 tells us that the agency is probably lying about the 3-week project  -- might only be a week, and they fear no one would take such shitty terms for a week of bad pay. Might really be a 3-week project, but who knows? Take the money in a busy market and gamble on their being another project when you finish. The way things are going, there will be, and the pay will be better than that shit project.

Not to imply that the second project is without problems. They start on a Thursday intentionally -- they want you to work like a fucking machine for about five days, but split it so that the days fall into two different pay weeks and you have no chance of overtime pay no matter how much you work per day. Most agencies do a Monday-to-Sunday pay week, but I think the agency in question does a Sunday-to-Saturday pay week. No more than three days will fall in a single week. No overtime. Sorry, but thanks for playing, kids. However, lack of overtime is still kind of standard, so that isn't really that big of an impediment. People are naturally reluctant to sacrifice a weekend for no OT, but they'll do it if they can't find other work.

Busy as the market is right now, I wonder how many people can't find other work?
