My own colleagues tell me they're afraid to tell their supervisor that they've been unfairly treated as their annual performance report might be adversely affected and they might get a lower bonus etc.
How should I advise them ?

Gone unchallenged, this problem will not fix itself.
If your friends are content with this...do nothing, but if it unacceptable behaviour by someone at work, then talking to your boss without being confrontational is absolutely appropriate. Sometimes a boss is unaware of all that goes on so give them the opportunity to hear your concerns.
Always document incidents/dates/times/who is involved just in case you require future reference though.

I don't think that "confronting" is a wise option in dealing with the boss or supervisor. A very low key conversation stating how the worker feels might do the trick. Save the confrontations for the street. Try diplomacy and tact in the workplace.

They may be right. Another thing the bosses will do is nit pick a lot of little things until they add up enough to fire you or you get so fed up with it that you quit. You can report them & rock the boat, but you'll probably still be looking for another job. And your boss won't give you a recommendation!

They do not wish to be labeled as a trouble maker, or lose their job. Or even attract attention.
Oh, and for heavan's sake, do not go to HR! They are part of the corporate world, they are not their to solve problems, unless the problem may result in a legal action. Sally is lazy and does not do her job is not an HR problem!

I feel that it is not wise to confront your boss or supervisor,the best way is to talk in the peaceful manner,instead of confronting another person which i thought it's rude for you to do so.

First, market yourself, post your resume and start receiving interviews. Take on a big project no one else wants, get it about 85% to where it needs to be and WHAMY your boss with your job offers and ASK him what the benefits are to you staying on with him and the PROJECT that is about to fall apart if you leave.

See, most folks like working, because it gets them money so they can live. It's called not biting the hand that feeds you. You don't piss off the one that holds your job in his/her hands.
If you're cool with your boss, you discuss it, never "confront" unless you are trying to get fired.

they are so simply because their supervisor have a say in their present having a job and their future having a job and future promotion
if it;s a major thing, sounds off, if it;s a small thing, you can just try to hint politely :D

Ask them to take charge of their thoughts or accept the facts.

Contrary to popular belief, the squeeky wheel does NOT get the grease, it does, in fact, get replaced.
