What is the name of your state? California
I recently gave 2 weeks notice at a restaurant-bar where I wait tables part-time (technically it was 3-weeks notice). I typed a resignation letter (dated and signed--I made 3 copies: one for the owner, one for the manager, and one to keep for myself) thanking the manager and owners for my time there. I checked the schedule the following day, and I was given my normal shifts for the upcoming weekends. Today I found out they changed the schedule, and the manager called me to tell me I was no longer on the schedule because someone else needed the shifts and was crying that she couldn't pay her rent. I feel like I was fired, when in fact I did the responsible thing by giving ample notice until they found another person. I need the money for the next 2 weeks, too, and it's not my problem if someone else can't pay her rent. In his own words, the manager said, "You have done nothing but a good job for us, but I need to do this to keep someone else from quitting." This feels really wrong and shady to me, but is it illegal?
