None. The tail doesn't wag the dog.

If your employer wants to retain an incompetent manager,
they are free to do so. If the reason that they want to
retain an incompetent manager is because they're concerned
she'll sue for age, gender, or race discrimination if they
fire her, that's the company's business and does not result
in your having any legal claim to bring against the
company.

BTW, "right to work" means you can't be forced to join a
union in order to be employed. What you mean to say is that
you are in an "at will" employment State.
