An optician manager was not constructively discharged after claiming that public policy prevented him from assisting an optometrist on the job, a state appeals court said, because such a claim “must be supported by more than the employee’s subjective opinion that the job conditions have become so intolerable that he or she was forced to resign.”
A Connecticut Appellate Court panel decided that former optician manager Ohan Karagozian’s complaint alleging constructive discharge against USV Optical must be stricken. The Jan. 8 decision affirmed Superior Court of New Haven at Meriden Judge John Cronan’s 2017 ruling striking the complaint based on a finding that it had insufficiently alleged both elements of constructive discharge in Connecticut.
