Employers and employees may feel a little disconnected right now — despite, of course, the various headlines about job hugging.

Even before landing a job, workers are haunted by ghosting, job scams and even discrimination, according to a Remote.co report. Job seekers are, understandably, “frustrated right now,” Toni Frana, a Remote.co career expert, said in a statement.
