Kagan finds that the circuit improperly dismissed workplace gender discrimination claims a police officer brought against the city because the court applied the wrong standard in requiring the officer to prove that being transferred to the intelligence division constituted a significant employment disadvantage, as that the transfer left her worse off was sufficient. She was transferred from a prestigious job working with police commanders to a primarily administrative job overseeing a single district's patrol officers; she often had to work weekends to make up for the new, less regular schedule; and her take-home car was taken away.
