@fesshole When I sign such things, I add the letters "UD" to my name, indicating "Under Duress". So if I ever have to explain it to a judge, I can explain "that was signed Under Duress - they were going to fire me if I did not sign, and my family would die. So duress - invalid contract".

@jab01701mid @fesshole Not sure if the advice I got was true or not, but I always ask in some verifiable way (i.e., via email) if it's negotiable. If they say it isn't, then it's harder for them to claim that it was offered in good faith.
