Human resource employees don't always get the best rep, and unfortunately, this particular employee is not helping their case. After hiring a candidate, the candidate suddenly cut off communication and ghosted the company. According to other HR professionals, this behavior is not uncommon in the early stages of hiring. But unfortunetly for the candidate, she chose the wrong HR employee to ghost.

Instead of addressing the issue internally, the employee took to LinkedIn and posted a public call-out, tagging the new hire in the post and sharing private WhatsApp messages. This post gained a lot of attention, with other HR professionals criticizing the public shaming of the candidate and the candidate threatening to take legal action. All in all, the whole debacle has been quite entertaining for us folks on the outside. Though the post has since been deleted, keep scrolling for the internet's reaction to this ongoing feud.
