[quote=Anonymous]Don't say anything,  agree to anything, or sign anything in the meeting. Listen, say, "I will have to take that into consideration" etc,p. ask for the purpose of the meeting. If you are in the union, use their legal counsel.

I was once asked by federal govt ogc to sign a separation agreement saying I promised not to sue. I have a disability and the agency's software was not 508 compliant so I quit for another job but had a bona fide ADA claim. I wasn't even asking them for any money nor threatening to sue. I just said I will quit on this date and the only thing I am asking for is the promise of a good reference. They said they would agree to a good reference only if I signed something promising not to sue. It was disgusting. Yes, this is the federal government that is supposedly so great for people with disabilities. I refused. Did not sue. Just wanted to quit with my rep in tact. My supervisor said he just refers all reference calls to hr anyway and since there was nothing bad in my record they would just confirm dates. OGC really tried to bully me, though, even though they were in the wrong since the software was not Ada compliant.

Hr lawyers are not your friend. Be careful.[/quote]
