Every employee owes full time allegiance to their employer during working hours. IF you could somehow moonlight, WITH the permission of you employer, so be it. Without their consent, you could be fired for cause.

I neglected to mention the obvious:

Unfortunately, not only are there no laws in CA 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. That is, UNLESS the conduct is actually based upon discrimination, harassment or retaliation as defined as �illegal�, which would not be the case you described. 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.
