That's what I thought "signing the offer" meant?

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.

But I'm not a lawyer

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

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