A Word With Yourself

Ghosting in the Workplace: The Rise of Swipe Culture in Recruiting

06 Sep 2025

Description

Spooky season is here—and what better time to talk about ghosting? 👻This week on A Word With Yourself, Jennifer Mitchell and Lesley Fennelly dive into ghosting in the workplace. From candidates and companies vanishing mid-process, to the dreaded Slack “hi,” to cold outreach that won’t quit, we explore why silence stings and how it shapes trust at work.We share a wild “never came back from lunch” story, debate when mutual ghosting might actually be the least-bad option, and unpack why sales tactics that ignore “no” only erode relationships. Plus: why every professional should have an “FU fund” for when walking away is the smartest move.
