In A Hot Labor Market, Some Employees Are ‘Ghosting’ Bad Bosses

If you’ve ever applied for a job, chances are you never heard back from some prospective employers — even after an interview. But now that jobs are plentiful, it seems the tables have turned on employers.

In a report last month, the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago said a number of employers reported being “ghosted” by workers — that’s right, like how a Tinder date might stop answering your texts.

The Fed defined ghosting on the job as “a situation where a worker stops coming to work without notice and then is impossible to contact.”
