Current title on HN is >Grindr employees have 2 weeks to move across the country, RTO or lose their jobs I'm not sure I see the difference. Has the HN title changed since your comment? EDIT: Oh, I get it. They don't have to move right away, but they have to decide now and then move in October.

yeah, confirming your intent is to move is radically different than being told to be living in a new location within 2 weeks

  Realistically, you'd either agree and start planning your move, or pretend to agree and plan your move to a new job.

    Agreeing to move and then not following through seems like an fast track to go from constructive dismissal with severance/unempoyment to fired with cause. the pro/cons also depend a lot like the timelines for dismissal.

  A rough proposition all the same! I don't think I've organized/completed a move in less than a month. Great, they've been given the time to do it - if they decide to. It's still a tire fire placed in your lap I'd find something new, absolutely no way I'd wear this leash

If you signal you will not move, do you get fired on the spot? Attempting to separate the decision from the action feels like a mechanism to try to avoid constructive dismissal[0] >In employment law, constructive dismissal, also called constructive discharge or constructive termination, occurs when an employee resigns as a result of the employer creating a hostile work environment. Since the resignation was not truly voluntary, it is, in effect, a termination. For example, when an employer places extraordinary and unreasonable work demands on an employee to obtain their resignation, this can constitute a constructive dismissal.
