It may feel like an order (That's an order ensign!), but it's a request, you can say no, they can fire you or grant you your wish, you can leave or grant them their wish. But agreed, it's really shitty and I wish nobody would be in a situation where they feel like they are effectively ordered. I feel it's a result of your country's (US or India, right?) lack of unions and employee protecting labor laws.
