A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

never ever assume you got the offer until both parties have signed a contract

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
