In order to establish that Goya should be held responsible for the economic losses she suffered as a result of quitting, Marrero had to show that her working conditions were “so difficult or unpleasant that a reasonable person in [her] shoes would have felt compelled to resign.” Alicea Rosado v. Garcia Santiago, 562 F.2d 114, 119 (1st Cir.1977). The standard is an objective one; it “cannot be triggered solely by the employee’s subjective beliefs, no matter how sincerely held.” Suarez v. Pueblo Int’l, Inc., 229 F.3d 49, 54 (1st Cir.2000); see also Calhoun v. Acme Cleveland Corp., 798 F.2d 559, 561 (1st Cir.1986) (“[T]he law does not permit an employee’s subjective perceptions to govern a claim of constructive discharge.” (internal quotation marks omitted)). 304 F.3d at 28; see also Gerald, 707 F.3d at 25.
