Should I fight it?

The facts:\n1. The role is 5 hours away. I was commuting on a weekly basis to the office, every Tue-Thur and did 10 hours a day on site. \n2. I was remote on Mondays, and off on Fridays. \n3. I was still in my state-mandated probation of 1 year. \n4. There has not been a documented issue. IE: there was never anything that I signed that said I was deficient in an area of my job. \n5. There was one undocumented issue about 7 months in that I received a verbal counseling for. Again, nothing formal, and it was a personality conflict between myself and another manager/supervisor.

I have already been interviewing for other roles and had a final interview that I thought went well, but am waiting for the offer.

On one hand, it doesn’t really seem worth it to “fight” it, but on the other hand, I haven’t ever been formally counseld/written up.

Look forward to hearing everyone’s thoughts.
