Re: evaluation
It's difficult to say exactly what will happen next in your employment. Unless this is some form of discrimination or retaliation, it is likely not illegal. To find out more about illegal employment practices, you can visit my website, www.memphisemploymentlawyer.net.
With that being said, there may be some actions you can take to help you in your situation. I would recommend consulting with an attorney who handles primarily labor and employment matters to get some advice on how to handle this situation.
