What is the name of your state? CT
My new manager recently wrote me up for a myriad of issues, and most of them were REALLY, REALLY nitpicking-type stuff. In one case he said I failed to complete a project when in fact I did complete the project (albeit not quite properly) and he took over and finished it. However, 2 days later he went on vacation and failed to complete the same project which I took over and finished for him.
In another instance in the same write-up he flat-out lied, and after a few discussions with my HR department they forced him to change what he wrote.
A week earlier he introduced his new "hire", a 20-something looks-like-she-just-fell-out-of-a-Victoria's-Secret-catalogue woman. A fellow co-worker who had worked previously with this manager remarked, "She looks just like everyone he's ever hired".
I'm a 40-ish balding guy with a beer belly, and I have a feeling I'm not his ideal "employee".
I initially told my manager's manager that I felt harassed and that I couldn't work with someone like him because he's in charge of my performance reviews. I was told that "employment is a free state" and if I didn't like it I could quit. Am I facing a type of discrimination, and do I have any recourse if I lose my job? Considering he lied on my write-up and was forced to change it I would hope I have a leg to stand on.
