    Never quit your job over an offer, I always run my time out at my old job.

    Last job switch was last day on Friday, new day of first job on Monday.

      What do you mean “running your time out”? I’m having difficulties understanding how that isn’t quitting your job

        i think they mean - unless you have signed a proper contract (not just an offer) and there are now consequences for the employer if they let you go for no reason, then you should still stick to your old job

          I don’t think that’s the majority of the companies work. You sign an offer, quit your old job on Friday (at the end of the notice), and sign the new contract the next Monday.

            So this is some bullshit going on in America? Where I live the contract is signed ahead of time with a specific start date, so this signing an offer (which sounds like nothing more than a pinky promise) and then a contract on the first day is new knowledge to me.
