Li Li worked for Packard Bioscience, and Mark Schmeizl was
her supervisor. Schmeizl told Li to call Packards competi-
tors, pretend to be a potential customer, and request pricing
information and literature. Li refused to perform the assign-
ment. She told Schmeizl that she thought the work was illegal
and recommended that he contact Packards legal depart-
ment. Although a lawyer recommended against the practice,
Schmeizl insisted that Li perform the calls. Moreover, he later
wrote negative performance reviews because she was unable
to get the requested information when she called competitors
and identified herself as a Packard employee. Several months
later, Li was terminated on Schmeizls recommendation. Can
Li bring a claim for wrongful discharge? Why or why not?
