Lay's Potato Chips in Boston offers a driving job to Fred, who lives in Conway, SC. Fred orally agrees to work for Lay's for three years. He sells his home, moves his family to Boston and begins work. Three months later, he is fired for no stated cause.

He files a lawsuit against Lay's for reinstatement or pay. Lay's argues that the contract was not in writing and therefore is not enforceable. In whose favor is the court likely to rule, and why?
