Former Employee Failed To State Claim For Hostile Work Environment Discrimination Based On Constructive Discharge
In
this case granting summary judgment for the defendant, the United States
District Court found that a former
employee failed to establish that his working conditions were intolerable at the
time of his constructive discharge, or that his employer should have foreseen
his resignation at that time as the result of the conduct giving rise to the
hostile work environment, as required to maintain an action under Title VII for
hostile work environment discrimination resulting in constructive discharge. The
alleged harassing behavior lasted between five and six weeks, and the employee
did not resign until four or five months after such behavior ceased.
