Legal Question in Employment Law in California

Unfortunately, you have described an 'unfair' action against an 'at will' employee, which is not illegal, and leaves you no grounds for valid claim.

Actually, I don't necessarily agree with Mr. Nelson's assessment. While he may be correct, the answer really depends on what you complained about. If you complained, for instance, that your manager was treating certain team members unfairly because of their gender, race, age, religion, sexual orientation, or other protected category, you may indeed have a claim under California's Fair Employment and Housing Act for retaliation.

Based on what you have written, it is impossible to accurately determine if you have been the victim of unlawful conduct.
