I'd talk to a lawyer about the incident.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Isn't that against the law? If not, it should be.

I would think so, but I don't know of any laws that address that issue, though of course that is not my area of expertise!

How about discrimination?

Being illegal has never stopped those in power. Getting away with illegal acts, nearly always makes those in power worse.

It's extremely against the law.
So much so that most HR departments would immediately drop kick that manager out the door.

Tell him to use Obama for his nickname.
Seriously, the manager sounds like a chimp.

So your response to this post is to throw out racism?

You may not be aware of it, but "chimp" (used derogatorily) is commonly considered a racial slur. ("Chump", by contrast, has no such connotations as far as I know.)

Never heard of it used as racial slur, I meant 'chimp' as in lower on the evolutionary scale, knuckle-dragger.

I can understand the manager asking for a employee to use a nickname if their name is inherently difficult to pronounce but because it sounds Islamic? GTFO!  That's like asking someone who is named Jesus to use a nickname not to offend Christians.

Most HR departments would fire that manager on the spot.
I'd double down and have everyone else use the nickname Mohammad. (And just say they are honoring Mohammad Ali.)
Or Mustafa - you like Lion King.
Omar - you like Omar Bradley.
Another option: ask the manager to change his name so customers don't associate the rest of you with "sh*t head."

IMO, HR departments shouldn't be empowered to hire or fire anyone.
It's his manager that should kick his @rse six ways to the unemployment line.
