In this scenario, Rick has breached his one-year contract with Bill and has learned confidential information about Bill's operation during the week of training. Therefore, the appropriate remedy in these circumstances is to obtain an injunction, which would prohibit Rick from disclosing or using any of the confidential information he learned during his training at Bill's company. This will help protect the interests of Bill's business and prevent unfair competition.
