This case in North Carolina federal court shows the importance of identifying proof of discrimination. It’s not enough to say that you were a good employee passed over for promotion and plum assignments. You have to show that it was because of your sex (or other protected category) in that they said something to so indicate, or that similarly-situated people of other sex were promoted. Bad things happen to good people for all sorts of reasons. Showing that it was because of sex is key to winning the case.
