            unfavorable performance review, which included the following                               
            language:                                                                                  
                        Your memo asks for action plans on meeting your                                
                  expectations, I don’t feel this is possible.  Whatever                               
                  your reasons are, as you have stated your [sic] not                                  
                  sure a woman could ever do this job as well as a man.                                
                  * * *  This entire process has been an ongoing                                       
                  harrassment [sic] without constructive consequences.  I                              
                  want to know what alternatives if any are open to me.                                
                  I feel that for the past twenty years that [I] have                                  
                  done a good job wherever I have worked.  I like my job                               
                  I have now, but do not feel this continued and                                       
                  unjustified intimidation can or should be tolerated.                                 
                  * * *                                                                                
            Petitioner further asserts that she told the Equal Employment                              
            Opportunity Consultant that she was going to bring a lawsuit                               
            against the company, but she did not at any time file suit                                 
            against PSC on the basis of gender discrimination or other                                 
            claims.                                                                                    
                  Petitioner additionally suffered physical problems during                            
            the period she was employed as a field supervisor.  She was                                
            hospitalized three times, for chest pain, pneumonia, and                                   
            abdominal pain, respectively, and she experienced continuing                               
            difficulty with breathing and asthma.  Petitioner attributes                               
            these ailments to work-related stress and maintains that the                               
            problems ceased after she left PSC.                                                        
                  In 1994, as part of a corporate reorganization in which                              
            unnecessary positions were eliminated, eligible PSC employees                              
            were offered an opportunity to participate in an Enhanced
