Boss told my mom to work on resting bitch face for meetings

I'm just flabbergasted the manager had the balls to tell my mom that in her 6 month review. Apparently she's doing great at her job on everything else but she needs to work on masking her emotions when in meetings. Is this appropriate? I told my mom she should bring this to hr as how is she supposed to fix that? Pretend to smile the entire 1-2 hour meeting?

The company's leadership team said they will do everything to make sure their employees are treated right. Almost every single one of them came into this company, after retiring from UPS with all wonderful benefits, that the Union got for them after 25 yrs of service.

PSA: Mike Rowe(Dirty Jobs) is running antiunion and antiworker ads

People on here might be more familiar with this than me, but I wanted to try and get this out there so more people can be aware of it if they weren't. Links to everything at bottom. To understand why Mike is garbage person and what he is talking about I'm going to give a little background on who and what. Mike Rowe the “Dirty Jobs” guy that a lot of us grew up with is a dirty person. He is a conservative, which isn't inherently bad, even when it mostly is. He is staunchly antiunion and lobbies for antiunion practices, so also inherently antiworker. He also believes that when you work for a company the company should come first, you and your feelings along with your needs and wants shouldn't get any consideration.
