Wow, wtf. I don't understand why people are so upset of being ghosted to the point of shaming the others.

Recruiters are human and have their own priorities and lives.

Just take the hints and move on. It's not that hard.

I'm convinced people who are upset by ghosting are probably not happy people because they are likely to be upset by every insignificant things. These people are probably not great at doing business as well.

Yeah, when businesses are shut down throughout the world and people are being evicted and living off of their 401ks why would you be concerned about a potential paycheck possibly coming. Very insignificant, jobs are.
I know. Recruiters are often the first ones to be laid off. They are also one of the lowest paid occupations in tech companies.

I feel sorry for them that they are also shamed for being laid off and unable to reply to emails. I actually know one FB recruiter that left and just stop replying to my email.

Just move on. You are not the only person who has the problems.

Agreed. I rather they ghost and save my time. Once I accept an offer I pretty much ghost everyone else.
