What is the consideration[0]? It's not employment since you are already working there and past consideration is not valid consideration. [0]https://en.wikipedi

  Some jurisdictions are ok with continued employment being consideration. Some are not. Hence the need to ask a lawyer.

    Do you have a example of one? That would be rather exploitative. Firing someone because they refuse to accept a one sided contract where they gain nothing would work in a at will state, but you'd certainly be able to collect unemployment.

      Based on my understanding from past experience (as well as googling it just now), that is true for the majority of US states. FYI, this is a writeup I found for Wisconsin when I just searched --> https://www.littler.com/publication-press/publication/wisconsin-supreme-court-rules-continued-employment-lawful https://www.littler.com/publication-press/publication/wiscon... Contracts have no legal requirement to be fair or balanced. Consideration does need to exist, but does not need to be equitable. So yes, it is exploitative, but that does not make it illegal.
