2. Lampley began work as an at-will (can be dismissed or can quit at any time) employee of
Celebrity Homes in Denver, Colorado, in May 1975. On July 29, 1975, Celebrity announced a
profit-sharing plan for all employees if the company reached its goals for the fiscal year, April 1,
1975, to March 31, 1976. Lampley was dismissed in January 1976. Celebrity distributed its
profits in May 1976. Lampley sued when she did not receive a share of the profits. Celebrity
argued that its promise to share its profits was a gratuity, unsupported by consideration. Decide.
Explain.
In 1869 William E. Story Sr. promised his nephew, W.E. Story II, that he would pay the nephew
$5,000 upon his 21st birthday if the nephew would refrain from drinking liquor, using tobacco,
swearing, and playing cards or billiards for money until he reached that 21st birthday. The
nephew agreed and per-formed his promise, but the uncle died in 1887 without paying the
money, and the administrator of the estate, Sidway, declined to pay the $5,000 plus interest.
