Legal Question in Employment Law in California

One can be terminated for any reason the employer likes.

Not only are there no laws against poor management, 'unfair treatment', or rude, obnoxious or harassing behavior by management or other employees, 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 terminated any time for any reason, with or without �cause�, explanation or notice. Any employee's goal should be to keep their supervisors happy and make them look good to the company, and make the company money. That�s how the company pays employee wages. If you don't, then don't be surprised to be replaced.

The only exception to what Mr. Nelson says is, of course, discriminatory reasons that are prohibited by law, such as racial or gender discrimination, or in retaliation for protected activities such as whistle blowing or union organizing.
