Legal Question in Employment Law in California

I feel my employer is over working, expecting way to much, and putting unnecessary

emotional stress and tension on me and my co-workers. I feel I have solid grounds to file a suit. What are the steps I should take?

I don't doubt your stress and overwork, but those are not grounds for a lawsuit. They are reasons to join (or organize) a union though.

You should consult with an employment law attorney about your options.

Step One: look for a new job.

There are no other steps, nor are there grounds for a lawsuit. .

Not only are there no laws against poor management, 'unfair treatment', or rude and obnoxious behavior, but in general unless an employee is civil service, in a union, or has a written employment contract, they are an 'at will' employee that can be disciplined or terminated any time for any reason, with or without �cause�, explanation or notice. Any employee's goal should be to keep their supervisors happy and make them look good to the company, and make the company money. That�s how the company pays employee wages. If you don't, then don't be surprised to be replaced.
