- concluding that failure of employer to follow policy as to all applicants did not show pretext
- concluding that “cold shoulder” and general avoidance from supervisors are insufficient to show material adversity

- holding that “cold shoulder” treatment wasn’t a materially adverse employment action
- holding that the role of the Court “isn’t to ask whether the employer’s decision was wise, fair or correct, but whether it honestly believed the legitimate, nondiscriminatory reasons it gave for its conduct and acted in good faith on those beliefs”
