    If they signed the offer, is that not a contract? Do they not have a pretty clear breach of contract case here?

      If they have a signed contract, they’ll sue and quickly win. If they don’t, they won’t.

      Right to work baby! At-will employment means “You can leave any time you want, but we can fire you any time we want.”

      No, the offer doesn’t bind parties to sign a contract, it only cements contract details in advance. Both parties can walk away at any point without any explanation.

      It’s like a price sticker in the supermarket - it tells you how much something costs and the retailer must respect that. But you are not forced to buy anything upon seeing a sticker.

        of course, but this is like the cashier saying: nah we won’t accept your purchase, the security guard will escort you out of the shop

          No, it’s not like that. But guess what? The cashier can tell you exactly that! They can boot you out at any point in time without providing any reason.
