Question

Marcus was offered a job as a senior manager by Super Corp. The offer, which was made over the phone, was for a three-year contract for $120,000 salary per year. Marcus orally accepted, there was no writing. The state in which Marcus was offered the job requires that such contracts be in writing. Marcus quit his current job, which paid $75,000 a year, and headed to the state where Super Corp was headquartered. When he arrived, the director at Super Corp who had originally offered him the job said that they were revoking and that there was no contract, as Marcus never signed an employment agreement. If Marcus sues Super Corp, what is the likely result

Answer 1

,Answer:

-Marcus is owed something by Super Corp because he relied reasonably and to his detriment on Super Corp's offer.

Explanation:

Employment contracts can be written, oral, or implied and each of these are binding to some extent.

In the given instance it is required that employment should be written in the state where Super Corp operates.

So Marcus will not be able to compel them to give him a job as the offer was made and accepted orally.

However the offer resulted in him quitting his current job, which paid $75,000 a year, and heading to the state where Super Corp was headquartered.

He relied on the offer to his detriment of losing his current job, so Super Corp owes him for the damages incurred
