Lisa filed an EEOC  gender discrimination complaint on her manager because she wasnt awarded a job and a male applicant was awarded the job. In the next several months, Lisa noticed a change from her manager. Prior to the complaint being filed, he was very personable towards her and often made small talk around the office. After the complaint, he was very short with her and did not engage in any small talk. During her performance evaluation, she was shocked to discover that she had been downgraded from satisfactory ratings to not satisfactory without being provided any specific explanation. In addition, her manager informed her that although she had been hired to work the first shift, she was being transferred to third shift starting next week. She explained to her manager that she was not able to work third shift due to child care issues. Her manager replied, this is the shift you are assigned to, end of discussion. Lisa felt she had no other option, but to resign. What are the potential legal issues and concepts associated with this scenario?
