If the manager's behavior isn't discrimination, I don't know what is. Maybe they're just trying to become the next 'World's Rudest Boss' champion.

Negligence? More like 'Negligence of Basic Human Decency'. This is a clear-cut case of discrimination against the female employee.

Conflict of interest? What, is the manager secretly dating the employee's rival or something? No, this is textbook discrimination, plain and simple.

Haha, the manager must be from the 'Rude and Incompetent Managers Club'. Discrimination is the obvious answer here.

This is clearly a case of discrimination against the female employee. The manager's rude behavior and low opinion of her competence despite her good performance is textbook discrimination.
