We express no opinion as to whether dissatisfaction with the performance of the group may constitute good cause to disband the group. But under Bechtel policies, such dissatisfaction with performance required written warnings and an opportunity to improve. Johnstone's declaration does not mention a downturn in workload as a factor in his decision to do away with the BNI MI group. Finally, Guz presented evidence suggesting that a reduction in BNI's workload would not necessarily mean a reduction in BNI MI's workload, and indeed the converse may well be true. In sum, the existence of these triable issues alone made summary adjudication of Guz's cause of action for breach of the implied promise not to terminate without good cause improper.
