The dilemma

Petra from HR does not look up from the folder. 'Six months of pay, {{NAME}}. Sign here, and here. The offer stands until Friday.' The second page says you will never speak about the company, its methods, or its records to any employee, past or present. On the way out you count the desks. Four of you are gone this morning, all from the old servicing team. Both juniors are still at theirs.

Your options

  1. Push back on the clause. The tenants riding those lifts never agreed to carry this, and neither did the crew.
  2. Sign today. Rent and your daughter do not wait, and this money is the only floor under you.
  3. Stall until Friday and copy the service logs while your badge still works.

The Clause They Slid Across

Ten years on the job, and they offer you six months of pay to leave quietly. The catch is one line: never tell the crew that the lifts are not being checked.
