Today is the final day they’re offering the severance, so I either sign the contract or not. Also, money aside, does signing this contract look better or worse for future employers calling reference? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Edit: I’m in Ohio, an at will state, and with a quick and free consultation with a lawyer, they said unemployment would be hard to win.
