Fun facts
Have you ever heard of ghosting? Ghosting is a phenomenon in which two people form a connection, get acquainted, and communicate frequently, and then suddenly one of the members of the relationship drops all contact with the other person unexpectedly and with no warning. This phenomenon is most often witnessed in dating, but these days ghosting is becoming common in the workforce as well. Instead of formally quitting, sometimes these days employees simply stop coming to work and block their boss’ phone numbers to avoid the awkward situation of a formal resignation.
