I would suggest that you can probably play the game a bit. Tell them you intend to move (you do). Delay coming into the office unless there is an ultimatum. Once that happens, book a hotel and show up on site for a week. Talk with your manager in person. Tell them about your difficulty arranging the move. Go back home. Delay, stall, use your pto, make them let you go. The idea here is that this policy is likely going to become flexible quite rapidly. There are going to be lots of non-manufacturing employees, way more than the 10% they want gone that will not be able to deal with an emergency move on short notice. Exceptions will start to trickle through. Eyes will be averted. Quite arrangements will be made. You just have to hang on in the meantime. Oh yeah, and talk with a lawyer, but the simple fact is that employee protections are quite weak in the US.
