Heading: Other Allegedly Retaliatory Conduct

Text: In addition to the failure to promote, Stephens alleges that his supervisors retaliated against him in other ways. Stephens asserts that an accident adjuster typically performs, among other tasks, estimates and evaluations of damaged City vehicles. After he settled his lawsuit in 2004, however, he alleges that his supervisors assigned him to menial components of his job by relegating him to photographing damaged vehicles at a Fleet garage, thus prohibiting him from using his “skill and expertise.” On the rare occasion he gets to leave the garage, he is assigned to undesirable and dangerous locations outside of his typical territory. Stephens also claims that his supervisors physically isolated him from other accident adjusters and intimidated him by staring and yelling.
