How courts have described this case

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

• noting that a hostile work environment must have been created because of the plaintiff’s “membership in a protected class”
• explaining that a plaintiff’s “co-workers with whom she compares herself were not similarly situated, and therefore were not adequate comparators to show disparate treatment”
• finding that tardiness and absence is a sufficient nondiscriminatory reason for termination
• denying summary judgment on interference claim where employer terminated employee three weeks before employee was due to take FMLA leave
• granting summary judgment on a NYCHRL hostile work environment claim because, although the defendants may have been “overbearing or obnoxious,” those actions did “not rise above the level of petty slights and trivial inconveniences” (quoting Mihalik, 715 F.3d at 110-11)
• “[A]dverse employment actions ... must be more than trivial, insubstantial, or petty.” (citation and internal quotation marks omitted)
