William Redmond, Jr., began working for PepsiCo in 1984. In
1994, a year after he began heading the Northern California
Business Unit, Redmond became the General Manager of the entire
California business unit. With annual revenues of more than $500
million, the unit [PCNA] represented 20 percent of the company’s
U.S. profits. Earlier that year, another PepsiCo executive, Donald
Uzzi, left the company to head the Gatorade division of Quaker, a
PepsiCo competitor. From May until November 1994, Uzzi tried to woo
Redmond away from PepsiCo. Redmond said nothing to anyone at
PepsiCo until he had a firm, written offer from Quaker. When he
did, PepsiCo sued to stop him from working for Quaker. The federal
appeals court ruling is the most frequently cited case dealing with
what is called the “inevitable disclosure rule.”
(a) What effect does the outcome of this case have on Redmond’s
ability to earn a living?
(b) Should PepsiCo have to re-hire him?
