When an employee exercises their right via multiple complaints, and the employer acknowledges these complaints but fails to address the issues, can this be considered "tacit approval" and potentially lead to a constructive dismissal or adverse action claim? Specifically, if the employee's complaints were not only acknowledged but agreed upon by several C-level executives as ongoing issues, yet no action was taken to stop the behaviour, would this constitute adverse action? This question becomes especially pertinent if one of the C-level executives pulled the employee aside and asked them to resign, despite agreeing that there are bullying issues within the company.
