Question:
Action Advertising hired Alice Jones as an account executive. She signed an employment contract under which she agreed to work for the agency for a one-year term for an annual salary of $45,000. After the manager of Creative Ads saw an exceptional set of ads that Jones had created, he called Jones, asking her whether she would be interested in changing jobs. When Jones explained that she was bound by contract for six more months, the manager said that the contract was unenforceable and further offered to double her salary if she came to work for him, because he did not believe that she was being paid what she was worth. If Jones quits and goes to work for Creative, is there a tort? If so, what would the remedy be? If not, why not?
