She said she didn't click "Yes" to remain employed because she had questions about increased benefits in exchange for the demand for "long, high-intensity hours".

"If you do nothing we assume you are picking X" "Oh well you'd better rush and pick Y then, and later try to sort it out!" Resist the urge to do anything when you're being tricked into doing something.
