1. If you were representing the Company in this case, what argument (facts and reasons) could you make that the confidentiality agreement had a legitimate business purpose and was applied appropriately to Martinez?
If I personally had to represent this company (ReadyPro) in this case against Martinez by making a confidentiality agreement between two parties would be defined by agreement between the written contracts made before Martinez employment had transpired. Anytime there is a breach of contract, Martinez employment should be disposed of by lack of confidentiality on this persons fault. This agreement was a legitimate business purpose and was applied through Martinez in a business transaction that should allow ReadyPro to be able to tell Martinez when, where and why this contractual agreement was on terms of confidential, but once you get other parties into this contract, then it should be terminated with a quick axe. Facts and reasons for this agreement to be terminated are reasons that Martinez did not disclose this agreement with no other, but Martinez decided to get other parties in this agreement which is dismissal of employment. Facts that Martinez wanted to argue is that they never got proper reimbursement of personal computer use, but if you look in the contract, it said that you will get reimbursement of personal computer use just not the amount, 12 is a reasonable amount for personal use, 15 is steep and 10 is not enough. So ReadyPro will meet in the middle with 12 a day for personal computer use reimbursement. As for other reimbursements as lodging, it should all come in good time, Martinez did not give ReadyPro time and effort to disclose lodging agreement with each other. If I had to represent this case I would state these facts and reasons on why this was a legitimate agreement between two parties.
2. Explain Martinez’s reasoning that the confidentiality agreement is so broadly worded as to represent a restriction on her exercise of some

    I found your Discussion Board Forum 4 post quite interesting. I didn’t agree with the post in its entirety. Opening a new business is hard work. Anyone looking into opening a business should thoroughly do their research. Betty has done some great ground work by researching a few franchises. The franchise concept is a great option for someone new to the business world. The franchisor usually continues to support the operation of the franchisee 's business by providing advertising, accounting, training, related services, and in many instances, products needed by the franchisee. (Satterlee, 2009). Betty would not be in business by herself. She would have professional advice throughout this journey. If Betty chose a sole proprietorship she would solely be responsible. Franchising means using a tried and tested formula to benefit from the experience and support of the franchisor (Schizas, 2013).I don’t agree that she shouldn’t employ Emma solely because of beliefs. Emma would be an employee not a partner. Emma is fully aware that Betty wants to run a Christian coffee shop. I would not choose Alice to partner, because of her husband’s firm beliefs that his wife should be at home. I would not want to start any family problems. However, I do believe that Betty’s husband could be her business partner. The financial contributions will assist greatly with Betty’s goals. I agree that Betty needs to consider other names for her business, because “The Gathering Place” was taken”. I think it is a great idea for her to name her business something that lets customers now that it is a coffee shop. Betty should look at the pros and cons of all the business types and go from there. Regardless of what decision Betty makes she needs to look to God for guidance to make the right decisions.…

    However, there are issues that should be addressed by the General Manager that could prevent the possibility of costly, public litigation due to a charge of wrongful discharge or a breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing. Since all information presented indicates that the employees were of good merit; the employees should have received an explanation of the rationale behind the downsizing decision, especially if there were other employees of similar tenure and performance who could have been eligible for downsizing.

    After analyzing the case, I believe that Martha should not pay Devon $7,000 for the proprietary information. Even though Martha has been promised a pay raise, a promotion and a bonus by her managers to close the Silicon 6 deal, she must stay true to her consciences and not proceed with the meeting. In fact, I recommend that she resign as a member of the IAD division of Seleris and search for a job at a different consulting firm.…
