Company tried to buy me out

My company tried to buy me out the other day, offered me 4 weeks pay and everything. Wanted my decision by the next morning. As I’m reading the package, they put a 12 month non-compete clause in there. Next day I said I would sign it if they took out the non compete clause, to which I was told no but it doesn’t apply to me and they wouldn’t pursue it anyway. I replied that if it doesn’t apply to me and you wouldn’t pursue it then it shouldn’t be a problem to remove it. Still no. They don’t revise their severance contracts. Ok. Then I’m not signing it. With that they told me that if I was staying then we are going to have to write me up for an instance where I argued with one of our salespeople over the phone and one that took place 2 months…

Still no. They don’t revise their severance contracts.

Ok. Then I’m not signing it.

With that they told me that if I was staying then we are going to have to write me up for an instance where I argued with one of our salespeople over the phone and one that took place 2 months ago. One more and I’ll be let go.

What kind of bullshit is that?
