You send a Slack message to another team. It's a reasonable request — a small API change, maybe a code review, maybe just a question about how their service handles edge cases. You write it clearly. You tag the right person. You even add a polite emoji. And then... nothing. No reply. No acknowledgment. Just the quiet hum of a message marked as read and promptly ignored.

You're not being ghosted because they're bad people. You're being ghosted because the game they're playing rewards ignoring you.

This isn't a people problem. It's a math problem.
