Plaintiffs were managerial or supervisorial level employees. They, and particularly Embrey, had access to confidential company information.

Under these circumstances Dole could properly conclude that it would be difficult, or even impossible, for plaintiffs to pursue Dole's interests with undivided loyalty. This was sufficient cause for termination.
