United States Seventh Circuit

In a suit alleging gender discrimination and retaliation on the part of plaintiff's former employer, summary judgment for defendant is affirmed in part and reversed in part where: 1) plaintiff did not show that her working conditions had become unbearable in support of her constructive discharge claim; and 2) plaintiff raised a genuine issue of material fact concerning whether defendant's proffered non-discriminatory reason for naming a male employee to a director position was pretextual.
