That's asinine! Unbelievable!
I'd say it sounds like the boss is the one making associations and perhaps I ought to notify HR about harrasment, etc.

I'd talk to a lawyer about the incident.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

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.

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.
