How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- holding that hostile work environment was not outrageous
- finding although plaintiff alleged unprofessional, inappropriate behavior, the defendants conduct did not exceed all possible bounds of decency
- noting that mere retaliatory discharge . . . absent claims of verbal assaults or hostile, abusive encounters, did not rise to the level required for the tort of outrage
- comprehensively surveying the decisional authority in our state addressing claims of intentional infliction of emotional distress and reiterating our reluctance to permit the tort of outrage to become a panacea for wounded feelings rather than reprehensible conduct
