Hot take: "Ghosting" in job interviews is getting way too normal

I spent $0 on this but wasted like 6 hours prepping for a Zoom interview with a startup last month. The hiring manager just never showed up and then they ghosted me on follow ups. Am I the only one who thinks this trend is ruining basic decency in hiring?

Happened to me last year with a big company. Sat in the waiting room for 45 minutes before someone finally came out and said the guy "had a family emergency.

Oh man, that's brutal, @robinj29 is right to be shocked! A buddy of mine drove an hour for an interview once and they told him at the front desk the guy "stepped out for lunch" for like two hours, never came back.
