I have been ghosted after interviews many times when I was a junior but luckily in my country when they make you an offer to be hired it goes with a signed document stating when are you starting and the salary you will receive and you can sue them if they don't make good on that.
And in the topic of employees ghosting the company... I only saw one kinda ghosting once, It was more than 10 years ago working as a helpdesk and a guy took 2 weeks of vacations, then the 2 weeks passed and he didn't came back, the company tried to contact him to no avail and after another week they just fired him. Then, after a month have passed without any news that guy came and sat in what used to be his desktop acting like nothing had happened, obviously we all were quite surprised and he was surprised that he wasn't able to login into the computer, then HHRR called him and he came back saying "you guys ain't gonna believe what happened! they fired me!". It was a wild day.

AHHAHAHAHAHA I would have started laughing so hard if I were one of his colleagues.
For many months after that his name was used as a synonymous for messing up in a weird manner.
And yes, we laughed to the point that even the boss, who was an extremely serious person, was laughing like a kid.
