  That’s what I thought “signing the offer” meant?

    i think “offer” is the keyword here. they specifically didn’t say “job contract”, they just signed an “offer” of some kind, whatever that is. A job contract is a legal document that has a specific definition of what it entails, an “offer” is just an offer

      Yeah probably… Scummy as fuck, but not one bit surprising

    I have seen at least a couple examples here (UK) where people signed or accepted offers but then moved onto something else before actually signing a contract, so they are not legally binding for both sides (any many times just verbal or via email)

  What is the meaning of “signing an offer” then? Is this not a binding contract?

  Just curious. Not American. Don’t know if this has anything to do with the US.
