What can I do regarding my performance management review/negative information?

My supervisor manages our performance management reviews for our department. Both my co-worker and I have had many instances of use of PTO, cases of tardiness or unscheduled PTO absence. He only rights negative remarks concerning this in my PM and not hers. I moved 1 1/2 years ago to buy a home 1.45 minutes from my job to assist with the care of my disable father-in-law who is a veteran. This made both my supervisor and manager very upset. Since then they have seemed to find a way to keep me from finding another position within the company by these negative remarks in my pm. I have asked other employees in our company who have had similar instances and they never had their supervisors or managers do this to them. Is this something that can be looked into to see if I have a legal case?

I'm afraid that unless your situation has to do with unfavorable treatment due to your race, religion, age (over 40), gender, disability, national origin, etc., then differing treatment among co-workers is legal. The fact is that not all employees need be treated the same or even fairly (absent the above mentioned forms of discrimination). Therefore, unless these actions violate the terms of an employment contract or union agreement, they does not give rise to an legally actionable claim.
