Facts
ABC Co. is a company located in Maryland. It agreed to a two-year employment contract with its Vice
President (VP) at an annual salary of $200,000/year. After one year, however, ABC terminated VP’s
employment without cause.
Soon after her termination from ABC, VP was offered a job as a Manager at XYZ Inc., a Maryland-based
company, for a salary of $200,000 / year.
A few days later, VP was offered a job as a Vice President at 123, Ltd., a California-based company, for a
salary of $200,000 / year.
Questions
1a. What are VP’s obligations? Must she accept either job offer? Explain the relevant rule and apply it to
the facts to support your conclusion.
1b. What damages can VP expect if she does not accept either the Manager job (in Maryland) or VP job (in
California), receives no other offers, and remains unemployed for the one-year period when her contract at
ABC would have been in effect? Describe the relevant rule and apply it to the facts to support your
conclusion.
2. Imagine that VP ultimately accepts a better position. Her new contract includes an annual salary that
pays her $250,000/year. She still wants to follow through with her plan to sue ABC Co., however. What
damages can VP expect to receive if she proves her case? Describe the relevant rule and apply it to the
facts to support your conclusion.
