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.

That's the whole point of having a contract. You don't quit your old job until you have a signed new contract for the new one. I understand that many Americans don't believe in this basic concept, but it's common in many countries around the world.

Is that different from signing the offer?

My thoughts exactly... I'm not a lawyer, but I get the feeling that OP has a contract here and the company is trying to gaslight him into thinking that what they're doing is totally above board.

But again, not a lawyer so what do I know

They usually don't even give you anything to sign
