Many people have horrible communication skills. You can be assured they most likely ghost, evade, lie and distort in their personal relationships as well. Just move along and never do him any favors ever again.
But was it a favor? Or maybe a presumption on OPs part?
Over the years I have recommended or facilitated quite a few RN hires at the Hospital.
To my credit not a bad one in the bunch...
What I have learned is the value of a job isn't what it once was and people come and go without much thought now... especially with low unemployment.
Mostly these were new grads... bright, eager and quick on the uptake.
The downside is none stayed more than 2-3 years... just enough to gain experience and prime them for work elsewhere.
Many, being young still had more to learn... they did well, with great reviews, training and pay bumps... but the pay is more in say San Francisco but it comes at a cost... either long commutes timewise and/or higher cost of living... it is something a person needs to realize on their own that $5 more an hour isn't necessarily better when you have to pay for parking, bridge tolls and spend 90 minutes more on the road...
Hopping from job to job is much more the norm and often it is totally at the employee's discretion.
I understand what you're talking about and agree with you totally. It's happening everywhere.
Hopping from job to job is the norm and the trend nowadays. Work, business, is all about money and bargaining. Employers want hard working employees and try to pay them as little as they can. Unless they cannot find the hard working ones or they face too many candidates who won't accept the low pay, then they raise the pay. Employees want to have a job somewhere that employers offer them high wage/salary and good benefits. That's the way it is, of course.
Besides, the young people learn from their parents, uncles, aunties, the generation before them, that when they worked hard and stayed in a company for a long time, they did not get a raise, had no appreciation and would be devalued, and they would be the first to be letting go when there's a change of management.
I don't blame this young generation. It's the employers and the management's fault. They are too greedy. And now they are facing the young and restless and the smart. Good for them.
Apparently, this person didn't want you to know he received a job offer and may have considered your checking back with him about the offer as overstepping. I am assuming he didn't want you to know he received a job offer because he didn't want to give you an explanation. Perhaps he didn't feel the company, boss, etc. was a good fit and didn't want to risk offending you since you are employed there. Ghosting may be his way of avoiding an awkward conversation about his reasons.

My professional contacts and myself will message back that it didn't work out and thank them. I have moved on from $13/hr to $110k+/year without a degree. I never had to ghost my former colleagues. I run into them at my new places of employment. I am not surprised to hear the hiring manager mentioned my former colleagues speaking positively.
I am still surprised by people who work for 20 years, who have no former colleagues that would refer them. I learned why some people are avoided, as I get older. The longer I work, the more I learn about why others have a harder time finding work after meeting meeting more people and others have an easier time.
How would the OP's friend's boss know he was thinking of leaving?
Grapevine... People are asked about sometime before the interview, any negative input means no interview
You guys think people don't talk? Even across industries, people have wide networks
And I said the friend may not have wanted to leave, but rumors of interviews may put that into his boss's head. So I asked if op asked if friend was good with referral or if he did it on his own
To answer the recurring question in the last few posts, he expressed his interest to me. I ran into him one day, and after I explained my new job and what I do, he asked if there were any openings. He then asked if there was a person he should contact (my boss), and that is how it began.
I used to work with him at my former company. That company is a massive corporation with thousands of employees where people come and go all the time by choice. They don't look into employees getting job interviews elsewhere.
