1. You have a written and fully executed employment contract with The Trump Organization, Inc. to work as an assistant real estate developer for three years at a salary of $75,000 per year. After only one week on the job, and without any legal justification, Donald Trump calls you into his office and tells you, “You’re fired!” In response, you file a lawsuit against the corporation seeking to collect $223,000, the remainder of the salary due under your contract. Trump defends against your lawsuit arguing that the corporation is not liable for $223,000 because you have made no effort to mitigate the damages by seeking other employment. Is The Donald correct? Are you legally entitled to the $223,000?
