Just make an employment contract part of your counteroffer
Contracts only protect you from the honorable, or those you can enforce upon.
If they're honorable, you don't need a contract. If you can enforce upon them, its only utility is to gaslight their peers.
Nah, laws & contracts do get enforced. It's happened many times before.
When the power differential is close, sure.
But we dont live in a society like you're thinking of anymore, if we ever did
Even when it's not: pretending successful lawsuits against governments, major companies, & the wealthy don't exist in significant numbers is denialism. The US is known as one of the most litigious countries.
Absolutely. The compunction of individuals within the systems we criticize is our protection against the system we criticize. If not for the US justice system Trump would be Kapital K King. But that self sustaining system is actively under attack and weakens by the day.
