DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH.
Wait until the very last day before doing anything. On the signature line of anything you ultimately have to sign even though you do not want to, print in bold letters "Under Duress of Termination" before and after your signature.
If they require you to sign it differently, tell them this is how you will sign their document. If it's not acceptable, then you need to make a choice. Basically they are trying to prove that you VOLUNTARILY signed a document, you're just making it clear on the document it's under threat of termination. Which is clearly true.
If you are a one party state, you can record the entire engagement on a small digital recorder.
Ask for a copy of the unsigned document to take home and review, most will start back peddling right away
