California is an "at will" state so the employer can fire you without reason; you can also be reassigned to a different location unless you have a work agreement to the contrary. I do not see you have any remedy.

There are no laws against 'unfair treatment' or poor management. 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. The employee's goal should be to keep the employer happy and make the company money. That�s how they pay your wages.
