The new phenomenon involves Gen Z employees accepting job offers but not showing up on their first day without informing their employers.
Anybody got a better source for this story? It sounds fake asf and it’s literally written by AI on some Indian news website
This article is such shit too. Riddles with spelling mistakes and it repeats itself over and over and then shifts to something else entirely. Someone in Australia turned down a job for 37k? What’s so special about that? That’s what you’re supposed to do if the salary doesn’t match up with the job and the region otherwise you get fucked. What does that have to do with ghosting a job you accepted? Then it just abruptly ends. Cool.
Not only Gen Z but also millennials—aged 28 to 43—are participating in this trend, with 24 pec cent admitting to the practice. However, only 11 per cent of Gen X employees—44 to 59 years old—and 7 per cent of baby boomers—aged 60 and above—have adopted this tactic.
Holy shit that’s crazy if those numbers are accurate.
1 in 4 Millennials and younger are signing job offers and then just ghosting.
Fuck yeah i need to start doing that too.
What’s the benefit to the employee for doing this?
On avg it costs an employer 25k to hire someone up to 40k for places like Microsoft and Google. If you do this when a company is giving bullshit expections or shit pay ans benefits. Then it drives up their costs putting pressure to get a candidate or worse drive them out of business. Think of it as when we keep scammers on the phone so we waste their time to reduce their access to someone that is vulnerable.
