Being asked to accept offer on the spot
Asking on behalf of my partner.
Her station is being closed down and for months now they’ve been dangling the idea of giving a severance in front of her face, but caveating that if they offer her another job (at a different station) instead, she will not receive severance as an option. Today they told her they’re offering a position at a station an hour away and gave zero time to mull it over — just an on the spot “yes or no? right now.”
… Is this shit legal? We are in Virginia, for context. Has anyone experienced this, and is there any way to push back?
