question 15

True/False

Baxter, at age 45, was hired as the general manager of the CountrySide Shipping Company by Carrothers, the company president. The initial contract of employment was for a three-year term and was embodied in an exchange of letters between Baxter and Carrothers in 2008. At the end of the three-year term, Baxter continued on as general manager, receiving annual increases in salary, executive profit sharing, pension contributions, and discretionary bonuses, if business was exceptionally good in a given year. In January 2020, for no apparent reason, Carrothers called Baxter into his office, and told him his services were no longer required. Carrothers offered Baxter a week's salary as "severance pay." At the time of termination, Baxter was earning a salary of $70,000 per year, received company paid pension contributions of $5,000 annually, and, in 2019, had received $3,000 from profits shared, and a $5,000 bonus. Any earnings received by Baxter for a reasonable time after he left the employ of the company would be taken into consideration in determining the damages to which he might be entitled as a result of his termination.
