The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board affirmed a prior decision finding the applicant did not sustain injury arising out of and occurring in the course of employment (AOE/COE). The applicant alleged psychological injury due to perceived workplace mistreatment and discrimination, including denied promotions. The Board found that the applicant's perceived mistreatment was not substantiated by credible evidence, and any actual personnel actions were lawful, nondiscriminatory, and in good faith. Under the Rolda analysis, since all identified employment events were lawful personnel actions, the applicant failed to meet the burden of proof for compensable injury.
