New dev has been ghosting our team. Doesn’t attend meetings and is always “out”. My boss is about to handle it, but it’s been a drain on productivity to have this going on. Is this a common thing any of you are seeing in development professions? I can’t imagine doing that to an employer.

    @molaram It’s really not, tho. In 25 years I’ve never worked at a company like this one that tries so hard to provide great benefits and make everyone feel included, necessary, and cared for.

    I feel like this is happening more often. At my last job, a new dev called in on his first day to say he changed his mind and took another offer 🤷‍♂️

    Sure, we've had similar, especially with remote positions. But there's almost always a probation period of 3 months or so, and if they display this behaviour they simply don't pass probation, it's that simple. We don't put up with that crap.

    @AlmondSauce Same here. 90 days. We’ll see, I guess.

    @stackodev In that case there comes a point where you just accept the guy ain't passing probation, and essentially give up. This is the risk you take with new hires. Sometimes it doesn't work out, and it's best you know that from the outset. Blacklist the guy and start again.
