- holding that defendant was entitled to summary judgment with respect to the affirmative de- fense where plaintiff waited seven months before report- ing sexual harassment
- holding that waiting seven months to report harassment through the appropriate channels was unreasonable
- 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
- affirming summary judgment because the failure to report harassment “constitute[d] an unreasonable failure to take advantage of the [employer’s] corrective procedures”
- “[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.”
