“Courts in the Second Circuit have found that '[s]imple teasing, offhand comments, and isolated incidents (unless extremely serious) will not amount to discriminatory changes in the terms and conditions of employment.' " (quoting Holtz v. Rockefeller & Co. , 258 F.3d 62 , 76 (2d Cir. 2001), abrogated on other grounds by Gross v. FBL Fin. Servs., Inc. , 557 U.S. 167 , 129 S.Ct. 2343 , 174 L.Ed.2d 119 (2009) ) ); Falso v. Sutherland Glob. Servs. , 592 F.Supp.2d 373 , 378 (W.D.N.Y. 2009) ("[The plaintiff]'s deposition testimony that [his team leader] harassed him by moving [the plaintiff]'s workplace on one occasion and 'repeating himself over and over again,' and his claim that coworkers talked and laughed near his workspace and/or stared at him on isolated occasions, are insufficient to establish a hostile work environment, nor does the record contain any evidence that [the defendant] otherwise subjected [the plaintiff] to ridicule, insult, or any physically threatening or humiliating conduct.”
