I find it weird that someone could simply leave workplace to another without saying nothing, at least in EU. There are working contracts often, employee can be prosecuted, and even lose some money in the process. Regarding employers, during a job search can become rather expensive accepting such invitations. I fell on such invitations sometimes, often they promote themselves, a few interviews, and manifest high possibilities, later nothing. Can be a lack of a certain skill that can turn down or someone better appeared or the budget was canceled. Some cases, I see where I failed, they usually say that will keep in touch. I rather try to enjoy at least the trip.

In the US most jobs are "at will", meaning that the employer can fire you at any time, but as they're learning now apparently, that also means employees can leave at any time.
