Ghosting is not a new phenomenon in the professional world. It refers to the act of abruptly cutting off all communication without any explanation or notice.
It can happen in various contexts, including job interviews, networking, and even in business dealings. However, what happens when a company that previously ghosted a contractor suddenly reappears with a generous offer, but at a significantly lower rate? This is exactly what happened to one contractor who shared their experience on social media, sparking a debate about professional ethics and fair treatment in the companies.
A Reddit user shared his story with the Reddit community about how he was ghosted by a healthcare company but was contacted again by their recruiter with a reactivation offer and a bonus. After going through the process of hiring, he got to know that his salary was 50% lower than what he was getting in the past. He talked to a person in authority about the disparity in salary but they never accepted it so OP quit immediately before even joining again. Scroll down for the complete story.
OP had a side hustle with a healthcare company that stopped contacting him during the pandemic but was recently contacted by a recruiter offering reactivation and a bonus.
OP went through the process and discovered that the office has a 50% lower pay rate for the work he did in 2019 and realized that the front office staff is staffed by interns, making it difficult to get straight answers.
OP emailed an intern with evidence of pay disparity and received a call from someone in authority who explained that the office pays an hourly rate instead of a flat rate per job.
OP discovered that the pay rate offered by the office within the same company was significantly lower and after being met with condescension, he resigned before even starting again.
In response to this Reddit thread, many people expressed solidarity and support. Some shared similar stories of being ghosted or mistreated as contractors, while others offered advice on how to handle such situations. The incident sparked a wider conversation about the need for fair treatment, transparency, and communication in professional relationships, especially in the gig economy where power imbalances are prevalent.
She went into a tech training program but only did cleaning there:
They didn’t have any trainers and the program was a lie.
She told them that they lied to her and quit immediately. Within a year, half of the staff had quit.
Whenever an employer says this to you:
No notice, just walk away:
Don’t be surprised when employees are quitting after your stupid behavior:
