    A couple times now at my current job they’ve hired someone, only to have them just not show up on their agreed first day with no communication. I’m guessing they just got a different job they like more or something, but still, I’d imagine one usually at least tells people not to expect you, under that circumstance?

      Companies can’t be arsed to let you know you didn’t get hired, I can see how someone would just ghost if they got a better job. Not commenting on whether it’s right it wrong, just making an observation.

      It’s so weird. I’ve seen a lot of people do that over the years.

      One guy even responded to bring called, claiming he had spoken to the another manager about the start day, making it seem like a miscommunication. Next day rolls by and he’s still not showing up. Didn’t bother calling him at that point.

      About a month or two ago my workplace was hiring for an open position. My task was to go down to the lobby of our building and greet the interviewees and escort them up to the office. Out of 6 that they interviewed, two didn’t bother to show up nor did they call or anything. It was awkward waiting in the lobby for someone who never arrives.
