'You will not be hearing back from her': HR has major hiring fail after offering job to candidate who is no longer alive
Instead of a job applicant getting ghosted by HR, this time HR was ghosted by a job candidate, who was a literal ghost. This HR professional works for a university that implemented a "rent-a-retiree" program for retired employees to come to work a few days a week in a part-time capacity. Now, don't worry. This program was heavily criticized in the comments below by Redditors who pointed out the questionable ethics of this program. And it seems like there was a little karma in store for this Redditor, who shared their story via this thread on Reddit's r/humanresources subreddit.
They thought they found the proper candidate and reached out, immediately offering them a part-time position before doing a little due diligence. Well, they were just a bit embarrassed to find out later in a meeting that this candidate passed away in December of last year. So, it sounds like this retiree program needs a bit of an update. Keep scrolling below for the full story. When you're finished, check out these top worst landlords of the week.
