I'm sorry for your situation, but, unless you have a contract which says that you can't be fired except for the reasons set forth in it (for example, a contract or employee manual which states that employee will only be terminated for good cause) or that  you will be employed for a set term (like a 2 year employment contract) or you believe that you were laid off for a reason which is prohibited by statute (i.e. because of your gender, or race, whistleblowing, etc.), the employer can fire you or lay  you off at any time for any reason.
