Woods-Pirozzi v. Nabisco Foods

In Woods-Pirozzi v. Nabisco Foods, 290 N.J. Super. 252, 275-276, 675 A.2d 684 (App.Div.1996), the Court held that a constructive discharge occurs when "the employer knowingly permits conditions of employment so intolerable that a reasonable person subject to them would resign." In Woods-Pirozzi, plaintiff quit her job after being subjected to persistent taunting by male coworkers that was often overtly sexual and extremely rude, and she was on one occasion fondled by an elderly security guard. Even there, we held that a constructive discharge claim was properly dismissed. Ibid.
