City of Morganfield v. Wathen

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that a thirty-day suspension without pay constitutes a materially adverse change in the conditions of the plaintiff’s employment
• granting summary judgment in part because plaintiff had not “adduced facts that demonstrate being required to [perform a certain task] rendered her workload ‘disproportionately heavy’”
• “Title VII’s anti-retaliation provision is broader than its anti-discrimination provision and ‘extends beyond workplace-related or employment-related retaliatory acts and harms’” (quoting Hicks, 593 F.3d at 165)
• plaintiff’s general complaints “do[] not constitute a protected activity as [d]efendants could not have reasonably understood that [p]laintiff was opposing discriminatory conduct by lodging general complaints about her supervisor’s unfair treatment”
• increased supervision, without “unfavorable consequences” caused thereby, is not an adverse employment action
