    If they signed the offer, is that not a contract? Do they not have a pretty clear breach of contract case here?

      Right to work baby! “You can leave any time you want, but we can fire you any time we want.”

        Yeah, I guess I forgot where I lived for a moment and took for granted my union contract.

      No, the offer doesn’t bind parties to sign a contract, it only cements contract details in advance. Both parties can walk away at any point without any explanation.

      It’s like a price sticker in the supermarket - it tells you how much something costs and the retailer must respect that. But you are not forced to buy anything upon seeing a sticker.

        of course, but this is like the cashier saying: nah we won’t accept your purchase, the security guard will escort you out of the shop

      If they have a signed contract, they’ll sue and quickly win. If they don’t, they won’t.

    I hope this guy spends some of his now ample free time relentlessly reposting this all over the place.

    My last position I got called in and the sentence I was given was almost the same. We are letting you go and want you to know this is not due to any performance reason its just a business decision.

    Research the business before you decide your entire future on the decision. PayPal have a long history of this shit.

    In the modern environment I can’t help but wonder, since I don’t know who this guy is, is he a citizen of the United States. Because PayPal might be towing the Trump party line for all I know. It wouldn’t surprise me one bit.

    Reminds me of McRaven’s commencement address… Sometimes, no matter how much you try, you still end up a sugar cookie.

    They could have waited longer. That would have been worse.

    Now that’s capitalism… Seems like the tech bros got the homefield Advantage, since you know, they own the means of computing…
