Contracts can be written on napkins and still be valid… If both parties agreed to the terms, and they signed it, I feel like that’s a contract even if the company doesn’t want to call it that.
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
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.
Edit: or was this a situation where only OP signed an offer and then quit the old job before having the signature of the other party? Would be very unusual, I normally get contracts pre signed by my new employer that only I need to sign
never ever assume you got the offer until both parties have signed a contract
That’s what I thought “signing the offer” meant?

But I’m not a lawyer

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