An astonishing 93% of Gen Zers confessed to not showing up for a job interview, and 87% said they didn't even bother coming in on their first day of work, an Indeed survey found.
An astonishing eight in ten (79 per cent) of Generation Z and Millennial job-seekers - defined for the study as 18 to 24 and 25 to 39-year-olds have engaged in ghosting in the past year.
A staggering 87% of Gen Z have charmed their way through interviews, secured the job, and signed the contract, only to leave their new boss stranded on the very first day.
Indeed has found that everyone, from baby boomers to hiring managers, is guilty of not showing up for interviews—but Gen Z are by far the worst offenders.
