Legal Question in Employment Law in California

I was laid off and told that I would be rehired in a few months when things picked up, four months later the manager chose to hire a different person for my job and gave her a different job title even though she was doing the same duties I was. Is that legal?

Yes. Not only are there no laws against 'unfair treatment' or poor management, 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 fired any time for any reason, with or without �cause�, explanation or notice. That also means no re-hire rights. The employee's goal should be to keep the employer happy and make the company money. That�s how they pay your wages.
