$[2]$ Gerald has been a sales representative for Goldsmith's Department Store for the past five years. When Gerald was hired, the general manager told Gerald that he would have a job there as long as he made $$3,000$ in sales each month. Every month, Gerald has exceeded that level in sales, so he is surprised when his supervisor calls him into the office and fires him. Gerald tells the supervisor about the promise from the general manager not to fire him as long as his sales were $$3,000$ each month. The supervisor responds by telling Gerald that the law in this state is employment at will, so he can fire him at any time for any reason. If Gerald sues Goldsmith's for wrongful termination, he will likely:

not be successful because the promise from the general manager was not in writing.

be successful because the general manager's oral promise created an enforceable employment contract

not be successful because employment at will means that an employee can be fired at any time for any reason.

be successful because employment at will does not mean that an employee can be fired at any time for any reason.
