> Instead of formally quitting, enduring a potentially awkward conversation with a manager, some employees leave and never return. Bosses realize they’ve quit only after a series of unsuccessful attempts to reach them. The hiring process begins anew. I don't understand how you can do this without knowing that you are leaving money on the table by "ghosting" from a job you are already working in. I would think this happens only in blue-collar jobs / min-wage jobs like a flipper at burger king but the article mentions in a previous page that > In fields ranging from food service to finance... If you were working in Finance (or even Tech) and suddenly don't show up, and your manager realizes that you've quit after being unable to reach you, how will you (the "ghoster") determine what your last day was, and get paid until then? The Boss can simply tell HR / Payroll "I don't remember when he/she disappeared, so not sure for how many days we need to pay him/her". In this case, you are potentially losing out on a few 100 to may be a 1000 or 2000 $ by not properly quitting and indicating your last day.
