How courts have described this case

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

• holding that publicly yelling at plaintiff on the sales floor did not constitute an adverse employment action
• sufficient adversity where “a person in [Plaintiffs] position may be deterred from pursuing her complaint out of fear that a supervisor ... would continue to try to affect her career negatively”
• “[T]he PDA expressly requires that she show that ‘other persons not so affected [by pregnancy] but similar in their ability or inability to work’ received better treatment.”
• plaintiff’s statement that she suffered significant psychological harm as a result of defendant’s discriminatory and retaliatory actions was too vague and conclusory to sustain hostile work environment claim
• “A plaintiff alleging discrimination claims cannot escape summary judgment merely by vaguely asserting the existence of some unspecified disputed material facts or defeat the motion through mere speculation or conjecture.” (cleaned up)
• “The limitations period [for a NYSHRL claims] tolls . . . during the period in which a complaint is filed with the EEOC and the issuance by the EEOC of a right-to-sue letter.”
