I have been the object of this practice. I can testify that it is no fun when an employee files a complaint of discrimination againstyou as a result of you asking them to do their jobs. Jobs that they are being over compensated to perform. My theory: Given an employee who doesn't like their job or who is just too lazy to do it, then that employee should go home volunarily or be fired.
NOt so -- per a retired co-worker

Last year: One of our co-workers put in for her retirement.
The HR messed up the paperwork so badly that she did not get her retirement check until she started filing a law suit against the HRO retirement personnel and it still took almost five months before she got a check.
The judge asked why it took so long to get retirement paperwork processed and the HRO office said they had new personnel and some personnel were in transion.
But the lady who retired from here told us that she spoke to the same HRO Retirement person every time.
The lady that retired is very nice and we could not figure this out. BUT we know that nothing would have been done until she filed a suit and then things begin to happen and she finally got her first check.

Many folks love to look down their noses when they hear about someone trying to right a wrong. However, you wouldn't believe how quickly they change their philosophy when they are on the losing end of a situation. While I may not agree with someones opinion about something, I will never place myself so high that I begrudge them their right to due process. What is truly scary is that the politicalization of due process may bring our democratic society to it's knee. Be careful what you wish for!!!
Suing is liberating and shuts up big mouths

Several years ago I sued another employee for defamation, which is cleary outside the scope of employment duties and therefore not immune from personal tort liability. I first asked her kindly to retract her statements, but being the self-righteous, judgmental, and unhappy type, she refused. I sued. I watched with amusement the entertaining spectacle of her futher pious statements while she pursued DOJ representation, to which I knew she was not entitled and did not receive. She swore up and down that she would never settle and always stand by her defamatory comments. Guess what . . . about the same time discovery started and I started asking about her assets, her attorney's bills started rolling in, too. She she decided to . . . SETTLE, as I knew she would from the outset. I highly recommend legitimate defamation lawsuits against such big-mouths who feel free to condemn or criticize regardless of their knowledge fo facts. It was truly liberating, and a lesson to a big mouth.
