Up to but not including "constructive dismissal". The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission(EEOC) provides a three part test to evaluate constructive dismissal[1]:

1. a reasonable person in the complainant's position would have found the working conditions intolerable

2. conduct that constituted discrimination against the complainant created the intolerable working conditions

3. the complainant's involuntary resignation resulted from the intolerable working conditions

The test isn't necessarily something we would be able to make a definitive decision on here. It is intended to be used in the courtroom where each component would be necessary to establish constructive dismissal and evidence for and contrary to each point would be presented to a judge/jury.

As you can rightly assume "reasonable", "intolerable", and "discrimination" are doing a lot of heavy lifting, and I'd expect and decision to rest on what constitutes "reasonable", "intolerable", and "discrimination".
