Hiring Manager Refusing To Let Me Decline A Job Offer.

Location: Vermont

I recently applied for a position within my company but in another state. The hiring manager kept dragging me along for over a month and I assumed I didn't get the job, so I moved on and applied to other openings. Last week, he calls me out of the blue and says, "We'd like to extend an offer, would you be interested?" I talked to him for about 5 minutes, verifying my email and other details and that was it. He said the offer would be emailed later that day, but it didn't show up until Monday.

He called and insisted that I sign the offer, even though I asked for a couple of days to look it over. He was adamant that no details of the offer were negotiable until I signed, which I refused. I decided not to take the job basedon his aggressiveness.

Yesterday he sent me an email saying that I wouldn't be allowed to refuse the offer because I had "verbally agreed" to accept it. I never did any such thing.

Can this guy force me to take an offer I never signed?
