• recognizing that “harassment-mistreatment of an employee by coworkers or supervisors that is sufficiently severe to worsen substantially [plaintiff s] conditions of employment” can be an adverse employment action
• noting that employee’s “purely subjective preference for one position over another” was insufficient to support his discrimination claim
• stating that a “classic case” of a retaliatory change in working conditions is “the employee whose desk is moved into a closet”
• stating that actionable adverse employment actions include “[c]ases in which the employee’s compensation, fringe benefits, or other financial terms of employment are diminished”
• noting that not every action that displeases the employee rises to the level of an adverse action
• finding no adverse employment action when the employee was transferred from one division back to the employee’s original division
