State v. Oles

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that in order to make out a hostile work environment claim, plaintiff must provide evidence indicating that the defendant’s actions were motivated by discrimination
• holding that plaintiff asserting hostile work environment must link the hostile conduct to her protected class
• holding that, despite periodic hostility over four years and four incidents with overtly sexual overtones, the plaintiff did not establish a hostile work environment as a matter of law
• holding that factoring facially neutral incidents into the “totality of circumstances” “requires some circumstantial or other basis for inferring that incidents [neutral] on their face were in fact discriminatory”
• stating that incidents must be continuous and concerted, rather than episodic, to be deemed pervasive
• finding that memorandum placed in plaintiffs personnel file, the merely “good” evaluations, formal counseling and an internal investigation of plaintiff, were insufficient to establish hostile work environment
