It's just ridiculous though. It's a shitty trend that's filtered down from social/dating applications. A decade ago, I always got a follow-up rejection email. Sometimes it took months from bigger companies but it still came. Today: more often than not you're just ghosted.
Milliennials now being in positions of power are 100% to blame for this. They see no difference between the conversation with a job candidate and that of the girl you fucked last week.
- marcus_holmes 4y agoI think it's more the trend of companies being scared of litigation. They can't be sued for discrimination if they never actually turned you down.
- willcipriano 4y agoThat's just an excuse for bad behavior. "We are going in another direction" isn't going to get you sued any more than radio silence will.
- teeceetime2 4y agoSerious question - Isn't the company opening themselves up to more litigation by ghosting? For instance, doesn't a hiring company have to have a legitimate reason for not hiring someone, otherwise they're opening themselves up to a discrimination lawsuit? "Because you gave me no reason as to why you didn't hire me, I'm now left to believe it was based it was on my ethnicity, which is illegal. So here's a lawsuit."
- marcus_holmes 4y agoI'm not a lawyer, just an MBA. But I believe it's the same principle as the famous "Shut The Fuck Up" advice for talking to cops. You have to incriminate yourself to be liable. If you don't say anything then you're presumed innocent (barring other evidence), and saying anything does you no favours.
