I don't think that people need to go to a job interview if they don't intend to take a job
that's wasting their time and that of the interviewers.
But that's not what the parent comment is talking about. He's talking about no-shows. Someone schedules an interview and then just never shows up.
I think that it's pretty unreasonable to just no-show a job interview if you don't want the job. Call and cancel.
People who are interviewing are going to organize their day around interviewing you. It dicks with them to leave that block allocated.
When he's taking about ghosting the job, he's not saying that people should be obligated to not take another, preferable offer. He's saying that they never tell him that they're doing so after telling him that they're accepting his offer. Call and at least tell them that you're pulling out.
I am getting downvoted to hell and shouldn't give these people the pleasure of knowing this but...
I have multiple times missed time with my wife and children because I wanted to get an important job filled by someone I was excited to hire. Who ghosted me.
And I am saying, people who casually waste other's time and goodwill, should have a reputation that catches up with them, sooner rather than later, for the good of all.
What the fuck is wrong with people that I am the bad guy here, seriously
Missing time with your family for work is an awful precedent to set. A lot of people don't give a shit about their work and don't care to let it take away from their life.
If I am interviewing, I'm going in with the mindset that I am selling my body/mind to the highest bidder for 8 hours a day, every day, for the foreseeable future. Any time outside of that, I am not thinking about the employer at all. If you and your company aren't the highest bidder, you aren't worth my time.
You sound transactional. Maybe you'll be President
Work is transactional. I show up, they pay me. What else would it be? This is not how I view my life outside of work, my relationships, or my friendships. But work is 100% a transaction.
