Legal?
You have no right to a raise, or even to continue your employment.
Everything about your employment is in the discretion of the employer .
Not only are there no laws against poor management, 'unfair treatment', by management, but in general, unless an employee is civil service, in a union, or has a written employment contract, they are an 'at will' employee that can be disciplined or terminated any time for any reason, with or without �cause�, explanation or notice.
If they suspect you are looking for another job, they will fire you if they are smart.
