Picо hаd wоrked fоr Defco for 50 yeаrs, Pico stаrted out in the mail room and became the senior administrative assistant to Dellums, the CEO. Defco has no automatic retirement plan for its employees. On January 5, 2020, an anti-corporate activist came to the CEO’s office for a planned interview with Dellums, but instead, when ushered into Dellums’s inner office by Pico, pulled out a gun and tried to assassinate Dellums. Pico tackled the assailant and held him down until the police arrived and took the attacker into custody. Dellums was saved, but Pico suffered a broken hand in the struggle. The hand was treated, but due to natural complications, Pico could no longer type without pain. Typing was a major part of Pico’s job. Grateful for Pico’s sacrifice, Dellums promised that if Pico retired, Defco would pay Pico a monthly pension of $3,000. Pico retired on February 1, 2021. Defco paid Pico the promised pension up to February 1, 2026. On December 29, 2025, Dellums retired from his CEO position. In January 2026, the new CEO of Defco decided the pension for Pico was an unjustified expense and ordered the stop on February 1, 2026. Discuss. Do not write about any torts.
