Usually, “ghosting“—when someone ends a relationship with someone else by ceasing all communication—occurs between friends and romantic partners, but it rarely happens between an employee and employer.
One Redditor, however, says it happened to him when he worked at a food shop.
To begin with, the place wasn’t that great for employees. It had a high turnover and, while this guy had been there a long time and pretty much knew how to do everything in the store, he knew it wasn’t the best job. But it paid the bills.

He was responsible employee, and when he went home for college break, he let the manager know his schedule. When he made plans to come back, he learned he was being ghosted.

The guy thought about ways he could exact his revenge. He had a few things in mind, but he didn’t want to get into trouble himself.
As they say, “revenge is a dish best served cold,” so he waited. He also took care of himself in the process and found another job. When he was settled, he squared things up with his former employer.

He never forgot the ghosting from his old boss, and while he doesn’t know the outcome of his actions, he did know his employer’s personality well enough to know that things wouldn’t end well. Of course, none of this would have happened if his former boss had done the right thing by facing him and telling him he was no longer employed.
Some folks on Reddit have encountered this before.

Even some people who REALLY know what they’re talking about.

And this person should really check the state laws. Because money.

Either way, some people would totally bounce to another employer for not very much.
