  • finding the conduct was not so extreme and outrageous as to exceed all possible bounds of decency without evidence of “hostile or abusive encounters or oppressive abuse”
  • affirming the trial court’s grant of summary judgment based on the qualified privilege applying to the alleged defamatory statements and the plaintiff failing to establish a genuine issue of material fact as to actual malice
  • finding that stripping an employee of her authority and accusing her of not following directions after the employer changed how she was to perform her duties, all in a plot to build a case to fire employee, was not so extreme and outrageous as to exceed all bounds of decency
