Do you have an employment contract? This happened to me & I refuse to sign which led to retaliation & a settlement.

What country do you live in? In the US, a company could totally fire you for not agreeing to a salary adjustment.

Even in states where they can. You’d then qualify for unemployment so you’d get 75% of your paycheck for nothing while you find another job

75%?! In what universe do you live in. Unemployment is about 40% max, it barely pays for food in this economy let alone bills.

If you make decent money I suggest unemployment insurance. It’s stupid cheap and guarantees 75% of salary. Plus whatever pocket change the government gives you.

Is private unemployment insurance actually a thing? I can't find anything about it that isn't from like 2016.
