1Opinion of the CourtMahoney, P.J.
Defendant Firestone Tire & Rubber Co. challenges a trial court order awarding $46,970 to plaintiff James A. Gathagan for breach of an oral contract for employment for two years. Gathagan cross-appeals raising issues of inadequate damages and denial of his motion for prejudgment interest. We reverse and remand thereby rendering the cross-appeal moot.
Gathagan began his employment with Firestone Tire & Rubber Co. (“Firestone”) on February 20, 1957. He held several positions in various departments. On March 1, 1977, he became a scheduler in the Production Scheduling Department at Akron Plant 1.
