Question

Barbara had a dream of opening her own bakery she planned to name "Sinful Sweets." While she saved money to start her business, she worked for a big commercial baker known as "The Bread Factory." The Bread Factory made many different types of bread, but none of the sweet baked items Barbara hoped to offer in her own shop. So, while Barbara made French baguettes and sourdough loafs, she thought about cupcake icing and baking the perfect chocolate chip cookie. Soon, the daydreaming led to snips of time searching the internet on her mobile phone for recipes; then she progressed to starting a file on her supervisor's computer desktop filled with ideas and saved searches. Barbara started testing her recipes using the bakery's materials, and she found that all her efforts were making her a better and more efficient baker. Once she had tested all her recipes at the bakery, Barbara's next step was to take two accumulated sick days to search for a storefront for Sinful Sweets. She found the perfect spot and provided two weeks' notice to The Bread Factory, including one week of vacation she had saved. Has Barbara through her actions breached a duty of loyalty to her soon-to-be former employer?
