Betsy owns a business in South San Francisco, CA. Her friend,Walter, lived in Portland, Oregon. Over the years, Betsy oftensuggested to Walter that he move to South San Francisco and workfor her. A short time ago, Walter decided to follow Betsy’ssuggestion. He called Betsy and asked if she was still interestedin hiring him. Betsy replied, “Of course. Get down here as soon aspossible and we can see where you would fit in.” Walter agreed andtold her that he would give notice at his current job and would bethere by the end of the month. Walter gave notice at his job inPortland, shipped his furniture to South San Francisco, drove hiscar south, and rented a studio at a total cost of $10,000. WhenWalter called Betsy upon his arrival, she told him that she hadjust lost a major customer and had to impose rigorous cost-cutting.She, therefore, could no longer employ him. Walter tried for twomonths to find another job in South San Francisco but nothing wasavailable. Walter’s previous employer was willing to rehire him, sohe moved back to Portland paying another $5,000 in expenses.
