Susie Sign Post was the manager of a sign company.

Susie Sign Post was the manager of a sign company. Susie received her checks from the Sign Post, Inc., but she had little communication with anyone at corporate headquarters. In addition to her paycheck, she received 5% of the gross sales of her sign company. To help at the store, Susie hired Lucy. Susie had directions from Sign Post, Inc. that she was never to create any political signs. Susie was suffering mental health issues at the time and as a result, she did not read those directives. She needed more income from her store so she sold political signs during the New Hampshire primary season. When Sign Post, Inc. received the bills associated with creating the political signs (for the supplies), Sign Post refused to pay the bills. Susie was then fired. The next day, Lucy showed up for work, found the door locked and broke in. When inside, she saw a man and thinking he was a burglar, grabbed him thereby breaking two of the man’s ribs. The man turned out to be the new manager. Discuss all legal issues.
