• explaining that an alleged retaliator’s “knowledge alone cannot provide the causal link”
• “Causation moves forward, not backwards, and no protected conduct after an adverse employment action can serve as the predicate for a retaliation claim.”
• “We have rejected claims on this ground [i.e., the plaintiff’s failure to establish the causal link element of a retaliation claim] when the allegations are ‘largely conclusory and lacking in the concrete documentation necessary to prove the causal link.’”
