Since the plaintiff is planning to appeal, we can assume the decision (and not the coffee) left a bitter after-taste.
What especially interests me about the case is the Court’s “Conclusion” at the end of its 14-page decision:
In sum, while the behavior of the Plaintiff’s supervisors and co-workers may have been rude, gauche or undesirable, their actions do not violate federal or state anti-discrimination laws.
“Rude, gauche and undesirable” behavior is not good business, even when there is no liability. Defending the case, regardless of the ultimate outcome, must have been costly. There is a lesson here which will be reinforced if the appeal turns out to be expensive.
In any case, I liked the NJEB’s blend (of serious commentary and humor, not coffee).
