If you haven't met a person but have observed their behavior, it's literally not discrimination.

If you mischaracterize your manager as making things up, that's also defamation, no?

And as I pointed out in the previous post, this goes bidirectionally (and functionally means nothing).

It was not that hard to understand, I am sorry you could not understand this simple thing.
If you have not met a person and "believe" they have bad performance, that's discrimination. If you make up or mischaracterize situations as a part of your evaluation, that's defamation.
Your employer has degrees of freedom with regards to setting up a path to you, sure. But that employer operates in a territory where there's legislation, which will often include defamation laws. Your employer cannot do whatever they want.
