I feel your pain... heaps of credit card debt but was making a very good salary and my company cut my pay and only gave me a month's notice, so I've spent 2 years essentially playing catch up now to pay off my credit cards instead of the 6 months it would've taken.

I didn't get a choice though I didn't sign anything either. It just happened. So now I just show up and do my job. Nothing more, nothing less, no overtime, I don't volunteer for any additional projects. Very cut and dry. After 10 years of working for the same company and that's the thanks I get, I appreciate the fact that I'm still employed. And that is all I need to be.

You may be stuck or just don't sign.
