Question:

Following a heart attack, a car salesperson’s doctors recommended that he find a less stressful job that would allow him to work fewer hours and no weekends. The salesperson discussed his situation with the General Sales Manager at the dealership, and he also began looking around for other jobs. The salesperson received an offer from another employer for a position that met his health requirements. The salesperson informed the dealership that he planned to accept the job offer. The salesperson was told that he should not take the new job because he was “too valuable” to the dealership. The General Sales Manager at the dealership then told the salesperson that there was a ne “corporate” job available with the dealership that would meet his health needs. After calling the corporate office, the General Sales Manager told the salesperson that he had been given the corporate position and that he would be contacted the next day to come in to finalize the paperwork. The salesperson asked for confirmation that the offer was definite, as he was still weighing the other job offer. The General Sales Manager confirmed that the salesperson had been given the job and that the meeting the next day was a “mere formality.” At the time, there was no discussion as to whether the corporate job would be terminable at will (it was). Based on assurances that he had the corporate job with the dealership, the salesperson informed the other employer that he would not be accepting its job offer. At the following day’s meeting, a corporate representative informed the salesperson that he had not, in fact, been hired for the corporate job, but he was being interviewed as one of the candidates for the position. The salesperson did not get the corporate job. By this time, the other employer had already filled the position that had been offered to the salesperson. He later accepted another position with that employer which paid considerably less than the position that was originally offered. The salesperson sued the dealership. What should the court decide? Why?
