Sylvan was employed as the garage manager for Tough Lucy’s Trucking Ltd for seven years. During that time, he reported directly to the owner, Lucy LaRue. Sylvan proved to be an exemplary manager. He was known for his charm and got along well with other employees. However, according to several witnesses, Lucy seemed to think that Sylvan was not getting along with one employee in particular, namely Lucy’s 24-year-old nephew, whom she had hired to be the garage bookkeeper. Upon arriving to work one snowy January day, Sylvan was informed by Lucy that, on account of financial difficulties, Lucy would take over as garage manager and Sylvan would be re-assigned to drive a company manure truck. There was no evidence that the garage was anything but profitable. The change in Sylvan’s position involved a considerable change in responsibility as well as a lower salary, longer working hours, and substantially smellier working conditions. Sylvan was flabbergasted and appealed to Lucy on the basis of their long and pleasant working relationship. Lucy told him he could take it or leave it. Sylvan refused, resigned, and commenced a lawsuit. What is Sylvan’s cause of action? What will he have to prove to win? Do you think that he will succeed? How might Lucy have otherwise achieved her purpose without risking a lawsuit?
