Griesbach finds in favor of the mental health hospital in the employee's lawsuit claiming she was retaliated against and forced to resign from her job because of her pregnancy, including through harassment she faced from a female supervisor who cast her maternity leave in a negative light and asked when she was going to stop getting "knocked up." The employee's sex discrimination and retaliation claims under Title VII and the Pregnancy Discrimination Act fail because she has not brought nearly enough evidence proving she was constructively discharged, in part because there is nothing in the record to suggest the hospital intended to fire her prior to her resigning when she returned from maternity leave, or that her work environment had become intolerable or unbearable. Summary judgment is granted to the hospital and the employee's claims are dismissed.
