Heading: Akers's transfer to the Hardin County office

Text: 30 Even assuming that Akers was involuntarily transferred to the Hardin County office, as she alleges, she failed to demonstrate how this transfer was materially adverse to her. She did not suffer a decrease in pay, her job duties were not significantly changed, and the transfer actually reduced Akers's roundtrip commute from her home by 60 miles per day. We thus agree with the district court that Akers's transfer was not a materially adverse employment action. See Kocsis v. Multi-Care Mgmt., Inc., 97 F.3d 876, 885 (6th Cir.1996) (holding that a plaintiff failed to establish that her transfer and change in job title was a materially adverse employment action, reiterating that reassignments without salary or work hour changes do not ordinarily constitute adverse employment decisions in employment discrimination claims).
