An employer’s action is adverse if a reasonable person under the same circumstances would consider the action to have an adverse impact on the employee’s employment. The action, however, must involve actual and not merely speculative harm. Thus, an adverse action will not be found in situations involving a future adverse impact on employment conditions when such impact is speculative.
