I see people sometimes leave their jobs so quietly. No resignation, no prior information. They just close from work on a particular day and the next day, they don't bother going. They have quit. Is there a legal implication to this way of resigning? Given that quitting a job like that leaves the organization stranded especially if that employee was handling a sensitive position or task, can the employer sue the employee for that act?
I have been close to people who have used this ghosting method to quit their jobs. One of them, the boss was calling and threatening that she would get him arrested for quitting like that. That got me confused. Doesn't an employee have the right to stop working at anytime he/she wishes? Does he/she owe the employer any explanation of his personal decisions? My opinion is that an employee is free to work out of a job anytime he/she pleases. What's your opinion?
