In my experience that is not a true defence against disappointment.
My expectations weren’t low enough to guard against my boss’s husband getting drunk, shoving his kid around in front of me then driving like a lunatic with us both in the car. When I quit over it I didn’t get my last paycheck or even an email back.
There had been red flags in the hiring process which these days I would absolutely bounce over, especially since they’d taken so long to get my contract in order, but you just don’t expect people to be complete monsters.
When I emailed again a week later to ask what was taking so long the second business partner’s email bounced. Apparently she’d left in that time. The business is still somehow running because you don’t need to be competent to get startup capital and run a business, you just need to talk fast enough to get the bag.
