    Default Re: Manager Commenting About Employee's Physical Appearance During Job Evaluations

    I never mentioned Snooki in my response to you. If you're going to make snide remarks to us, at least send them to the correct responders.

    Now here's your legally correct answer again:

    There are no laws anywhere in the US that prohibit employers from making comments about their employees' physical appearance, during performance reviews or at any other time.

    While you may consider your employer's comments to be harassment, they do not constitute illegal harassment as defined by law. For harassment to be illegal, it must be directed at certain specified characteristics such as race, age (only 40+), religion, gender and/or disability. Nowhere in any of your snippy little posts have you indicated that your boss made any comments to you about your race, age, religion, gender and/or disability.

    Now that you have your legally correct answer, piss off and take your snippy little self elsewhere.

    Is it legal for a manager to make such comments to an employee? Yes.

    Particularly in the realm of a performance evaluation, the behavior seems questionable at best? I see nothing remotely questionable about the comments the manager made. The manager was expressing a concern about the employee's state of health and possible dissatisfaction with his or her job ("you look unhappy".) There's nothing inappropriate or illegal about that.
