context: Carter's constructive discharge claim fails because he is unable to show the intolerable nature of the abuse he faced. The "severe and pervasive" standard required to state a hostile work environment claim is lower than the "intolerability" standard required for a constructive discharge claim, and thus a finding that Carter's hostile work environment claim is actionable does not necessitate a finding that he was constructively discharged.
