This thread reminds me a lil of the guy who left that one good job, can't find the thread.
But yeah, I've left shit abusive retail jobs with no word but not anything close to professional.
It's hard for me to feel sympathy when so many companies think it's cool to leave people waiting on an answer that isn't coming.
This just seems rude and immature. I'll never understand why people just up and leave jobs like that. You might hate the workplace but you just leaving without notifying anyone else makes everyone else's job that much harder because now they're short staffed.
Wtf at this generalization of an entire group...Millennials have a very difficult time with face to face interactions, much less if there may be conflict involved or if they are in any way to blame for the conflict. Anyone who works in the educational system will not surprised by this trend at all.

Anyway, on the one hand most companies are dicks about employee loyalty, let alone new hire process.
On the other hand its kind of a dick move, how hard is it to wrote an email or make a phone call saying I'm not interested.
So many weird responses.
While I have zero sympathy for the company either, it's not about that.
The professional working community, especially if it's a specific industry, is smaller than you realize.
Burning bridges like this is never smart. Act like a professional. You never know who knows each other.

That sucks but seeing as how they probably have loads of other applicants, I don't really have much of a problem with that.They never tell me they've pick someone else and never responded to my follow up emails or calls.

This is the most millennial thing ever, tbhIn my experience, this isn't millennials "fearing conflict", it's that their work conditions and bosses are so shitty that they literally can't be bothered handing in a resignation notice. They see it as an out-of-the-way "considerate" thing to do, that will inevitably be addressed by the bosses with complete disinterest and just stamped or filed or whatever, because they're made to feel worthless.
Like 90 percent of the interviews I've gone on I've gotten no response afterwards. They never tell me they've pick someone else and never responded to my follow up emails or calls.
I'm talking about sit down interviews, not even just applications.That sucks but seeing as how they probably have loads of other applicants, I don't really have much of a problem with that.
Not really. But that hasn't stopped hiring managers from ghosting me after multiple interviews. Shit is infuriating. So yeah, I can understand people on the other side wanting to do the same thing.

Yeah, my job had half a dozen people sit in an office and take a 3 hour test when they came back for follow up interviews. They better damn well have emailed them back.I'm talking about sit down interviews, not even just applications.

I mean it works both ways. I've been ghosted by companies that said they were interested in me as well.

I've worked for a lot of companies, and I wouldn't say a single one was good with employee loyalty. They'd rather you quit and hire someone to replace you, than give you a raise. When it would be cheaper to give the raise than setup a new hire process, interviews, on boarding the new hire etc.* gets bothered by generalization *

Yeah. On one hand, its super unprofessional. But its unprofessional when companies do it too, and they do it a lot.It's hard for me to feel sympathy when so many companies think it's cool to leave people waiting on an answer that isn't coming.
You've had bad managers, or weren't a good employee. Good* management staff understands turnover is the #1 most expensive thing in your labor pool. I work hard to keep people who want to be kept and give annual raises/reviews at a minimum with performance raises as I see them as well. I'm also honest with employees who aren't working hard and tell them straight up they won't make more money if they don't step it up.I've worked for a lot of companies, and I wouldn't say a single one was good with employee loyalty.

I'm fact every single significant raise I've gotten has come when I either quit or got fired.
Yes there are companies out there that are good with employee loyalty but I would say they are the exception.
It's a possible explanation for some peoples behaviour.

I hate that as well. At a previous company, one of the two bosses would do that quite often...and the people waited not just some weeks, but even months.Lo and behold, I come back 3 days ago and it turns out my boss didn't want to hire him and coworker never sent the guy a message at all, thereby ghosting him even when I specifically told him we don't ever do that.
I know it's probably a "small" thing, but man it made me angry. I promised the guy at least a proper answer and he got nothing. Ugh.
