Dear PAO,
The past couple of months have been hard on my sister as two of her officemates have been picking on her, which really affected her work performance. A few weeks ago, they had a very heated argument. The management investigated the incident, and just this week, my sister received a notice of transfer to another department, which will take effect in a week. There was no explanation given to her. Though her salary and benefits are not affected, she feels the transfer is unnecessary.

A staff from their HR department came to her again, asking her to sign the notice of transfer and informing her that she could be dismissed for disobedience if she kept refusing to sign. Is that correct? My sister does not intend to disobey deliberately; she just wants honesty and transparency.
