Is this perfectly legal?
An employee goes to their general manager for help because a supervisor is discriminating against them by making them do other employees chores and using profanity at them and then the general manager tells that person that they had several complaints against them in the past 3 years (which had never been revealed to the said employee in the past) that they had worked there and then says that if they didn't like it then they should leave. and on top of this, the manager tells the person that they are now on a 30 day probation and after the 30 days they will decide if the person deserves to be reviewed for a pay raise even though the review should have happened months earlier. Is this legal?? It seems like the manager is retaliating at the employee!!
Another twist is that the employee's supervisor had hired his own wife who sits around reading magazines most of the time and the general manager didn't even respond to this.
Well it's not me, it's my mother in law.
I'm surprised there isn't a law somewhere. How can someone be punished for asking for help?

Unfortunately, it is perfectly legal.
It sounds like the supervisor maybe related to the General Manager since he is protecting him by getting on your case for bringing these things up...
however, its true...you have 2 choices ...the right to quit, or do what you are told
...unless you are told to do something illegal, in violation of work place policy, something of a sexual in nature.
sorry...

I think you are misinformed as to what discriminating is. Employers can do what they wish to employees, with exceptions. Most of the exceptions deal with protected classes (sex, race, >40 years old, religious beliefs, etc.).
If you had a claim that they were discriminating against you for these reasons you would have a claim.
You don't. Find another job. Reviews are up to the employer, not the government.
If you have a problem with your boss then go to their boss.

Soak some rooster bones for few days in the warmth place. Spray the answer on the grill of their automobile. Dissolve sugar and honey in some water. Pour all of it around their homestead. Ants will like it. Throw chook feed throughout their front backyard. in case you comprehend the place they paintings, quit by utilising their automobile mutually as they are at paintings and superglue wipers to the windshield. possibilities are high you're no longer the only individual they annoyed. Oh, and make advantageous that is think to rain by utilising the time they finished.

no, its not legal, ( I find it to be unfair labor practices) but what are you going to do about it? You hold no cards. Look for a new job
