    Finding no adverse employment action where there was no record evidence that lack of access to a particular restroom resulted in a material change to the plaintiff's employment status, such as a reduction in title, salary, or benefits

    The Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals defines an adverse employment action as "'a tangible change in working conditions that produces a material employment disadvantage, including but not limited to, termination, cuts in pay or benefits, and changes that affect an employee's future career prospects.'" Warr v. Hagel, 14 F.Supp.3d 1244, 1250 (E.D. Mo. 2014) (quoting Jackman v. Fifth Judicial Dist. Dept. of Correctional Servs., 728 F.3d 800, 804 (8th Cir. 2013)). To be materially adverse, the action must be "more disruptive than a mere inconvenience or an alteration of job responsibilities."
