Despite a job offer, simply don't report it anymore: one in ten people “ghost” their future employer. Ten percent of applicants resigned immediately after signing the employment contract, but before starting the new position.

Some chose not to formally terminate their employment at all and did not even take up the new job. One in four respondents ‘ghosted’ because of a better job offer. A similar number of contact breakers said they were dissatisfied with their new employer during the application process.
