Legal Question in Employment Law in California

Is there case for suing?

2 direct reports (in previous good standing) went above their current manager to complain about his incompetency and proposed a re-organization in their department in which they no longer had to report to him; consequently, they both received what they felt were unjust performance reviews, acts of intimidation (though not of a blatant manner), petty write-ups, and refusal of transfer out of the department. The manager felt ''rejected'' by what the direct reports had done in going above him (even though they had offered him direct, constructive feedback) and stated this in a meeting to them. Is there a case for suing the employer?

Re: Is there case for suing?

No. That's called office politics; or rather, the consequences of office politics. Sorry, but someone should have told you long before now that life is not fair, and that there are consequences to every action, unintended or not. Find a job at a company that appreciates you.
