The new phenomenon involves Gen Z employees accepting job offers but not showing up on their first day without informing their employers.

    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.

      1 in 4 Millennials and younger are not checking the work week expectations assuming it is 40 hr a week, finding out it is 90, and saying fuck that and just not showing up

      What are the odds that a Gen-X or Boomer prospective employee is vying for a 90 hour job that pays shit? Boomers are eligible for social security and Gen-X is probably getting the choice jobs due to experience, leaving Gen-Z and younger millennials shit out of luck and justifiably rebelling. (Obviously generalizing)

        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.
