• holding that the plaintiff who lied about his misconduct was not similarly situated to an employee who did not lie about the same misconduct, because honesty is a mitigating circumstance that differentiates the conduct and the employer’s treatment
• finding that the employer would have terminated the employee even without any retaliatory motive, where the employee did not dispute the incidents of time card fraud leading to her termination
• plaintiffs who lied about taking unauthorized breaks not similarly situated to fellow employee who did not lie about his conduct
• “Title VII protects employees ‘from retaliation for complaining about the types of discrimination it prohibits.’”
