Legal Question in Employment Law in California

Deceptive Hiring, Unfair Work Environment, and Unfair Demotion

I was hired into a high-level, high-visibility technical position. After seven months without the intense training I was to receive (the CEO even told me he wanted me trained to a high level), I have been demoted into a Help Desk/Facilities group that represents a drop in scope of several levels from my professional level. This was done behind the scenes, without my knowledge or agreement.

My boss�s attitude and demeanor toward me has alternated between verbal hostility and neglect. Several co-workers have commented on this to me. I have approached HR three times about his behavior. Nothing substantial has been done. Rather, the antagonistic environment has been allowed to continue, with his reward being his elevation to a higher level of responsibility while I have been demoted unfairly.

I left employment prospects on the east coast and moved to California to accept a position that my company has never delivered on. I believe I was hired deceptively, and rather than acknowledging that fact, the company has allowed a condition of duress to develop, hoping that I will quit.

I have done my best to improve the situation without success. I have maintained a great deal of documentation in support of my situation.
