It may not be illegal, but it it is not wise.

No, that is not legal. However, that kind of statement will not promote good employee relations and will build up resentment where employees will look for a reason to retaliate. Such retaliation may take the form of poor work, work slow downs, baseless discrimination claims, stirring up employee strife, bringing in a union, or other methods. It is not very diplomatic.

That is not illegal. It's not nice, but not illegal.

No, it is not illegal. It is just stating the law.

It is not illegal in and of itself.

I see nothing illegal about that. It is a true statement of the law. If you do not like your job, you can quit.

No, of course not. Why would that statement be unlawful?
