Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[e]ourts have granted the exception when the necessary information was in the hands of the employer and inaccessible to the employee, for instance, in cases of hidden pay disparities. The exception should be denied when a specific situation should put the employee on notice that he might be discriminated against. In other words, once a discrete event occurs, such as the denial of a request, a plaintiff is on notice and has an obligation to investigate further on order to safeguard his rights.”
