United States Seventh Circuit

In a suit alleging employment discrimination against a pet food manufacturer, summary judgment for defendant is affirmed in part, but reversed in part where: 1) the district court erred in deciding that plaintiff experienced two distinct episodes of hostile work environment since she was subject to the same management for the entire period; and 2) plaintiff presented ample evidence that would allow a trier of fact to conclude that she was subjected to a pervasively hostile environment.
