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

      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

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