I have a friend who is lookin for work. Last week I checked in with her on how her applications were going and she said she had an interview that went alright and they were talking salary. I said, “That's great.” Usually when that happens, they want to hire you.
Well, this week she texted me that the employer ghosted her: “I’m not sure what happened. I got a form letter that stated the position had been filled so I don’t know what’s going on and I’m not going to reach out to them. Maybe it wasn’t for me. I was taking a slight pay cut.”
I wonder what happened. That seems pretty unprofessional of a company to just drop an applicant during salary negotiations with no communication. Thank God I have a job and am done with that crap for now.
