  • holding that hostile work environment was not outrageous
  • finding although plaintiff alleged “unprofessional, inappropriate behavior,” the defendant’s 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’”
