Take the high road.
Always this. The high road will come back to repay u later. Good karma points. 👍
It can never hurt to be the better person in a situation and try to help someone out that didn't help you out. That said, if they do have a work ethic which you don't agree with, you should address it with them before putting your reputation at risk on their behalf. I'd suggest offering them a chance to explain why they dropped you mid conversation and if it's reasonable than do what you can to help them, if not than let them know that the way they treated you wasn't something you'd be willing to support and move on. I'm sure they'll have other people they're reaching out to as well so it may not be a conversation you want to have right now.
…and I don’t know how I should feel about it. I don’t wish stress and economic uncertainty on anyone. Especially during this time. But I admit to feeling a little schadenfreude. Just a little.
I mean I wouldn’t feel comfortable working with someone not knowing if this was a common occurrence for them or not. Tell them that and have them give an explanation
As much as I wouldn’t want to rub salt in someone’s wound, I think you should tell her that though you’re sorry to hear that she was the victim of layoffs, you couldn’t in good conscience recommend her for a job due to your experience working with her in the past. As a Recruiter, I’m so tired of Recruiters who think it’s okay to ghost people. I treat every candidate the way I would want to be treated and I consider the way my behavior and responses reflect on my agency. Maybe this experience will open her eyes and help her to realize it’s not okay to treat people that way. On the other hand though, there’s also the chance that you may have to encounter her again in the future if she gets a job somewhere else you’d like to work...
I would say you’ll see if you can help and then not help, like we do with anyone who reaches out and isn’t qualified.
I dunno. I'd choose love.
I’d take the low road
I’d take the humorous road
Did she just never respond to your emails last year, or bail in the middle of a conversation?
Bailed mid-convo. I was wondering why she wrote me back out of nowhere over a year later.
Tell her the truth. She acted unprofessionally and as a result, you won’t help her.
I’d take the do not reply road
