Unless the reason he or she dislikes and picks on you is discriminatory, the answer is yes. The question you need to ask yourself is: Why is he or she picking on you? If it's because of your race, gender, ancestry, sex, national origin, color, sexual orientation, religion, disability, age, marital status, medical condition(s), or decision to take protected leave, then you have might have a case.

Yes. 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 fired any time for any reason, other than illegal discrimination or retaliation under the Discrimination, Civil Rights, or Whistle-blower, or similar statutes. The employee's goal should be to keep the employer happy.
