• holding that negative performance evaluations constituted materially adverse action when they “resulted in [the plaintiff losing a financial award or an award of leave”
• holding that employee’s four verbal altercations with supervisor, two impositions of leave restrictions, two proposals of suspension, and other clashes over two-year period were too sporadic
• concluding that proposed suspensions not actually served were not adverse actions
• stating that an “essential element[] of a discrimination claim” is that “the plaintiff suffered an adverse employment action”
• analyzing whether the employee suffered an adverse action despite the plaintiff’s failure to rebut the employer’s nondiscriminatory rationale
• stressing, in the context of an employee’s reassignment, courts’ “hesitancy to engage in ‘judicial micromanagement of business practices’”
