  • finding that the plaintiff was not constructively discharged when she relied only on ineffective informal means of correction for seven months before initiating a formal complaint

  • “[A]n employee can be constructively discharged only if the underlying working conditions were themselves unlawful or discriminatory in some fashion.”
  • “Of course, an employee is not required to file a separate EEOC charge alleging retaliation when the retaliation occurs in response to the filing of the original EEOC charge.”
