Lost my job 2 weeks after being hired - help!

Home More advice Jobs & Money

I really need some advice as I don't know if what my employer did to me was right or not. I previously had questions about how I'd been out of work for 5 months after being made redundant, and was having no luck finding a job. I then told you guys that I found my perfect job working in a printing company doing admin/graphic design. Well I'd been working there for 2 weeks. Everything was fine and I was enjoying it. I struggled on some things but was quickly learning & did my best to impress. There was only me and the boss working there (he owns the business). After a week of working I noticed a woman had come in and spoken with the boss in private. I didn't think much of it. Today I was told was my day off. I just checked my email to find that I had an email from my boss saying, and I quote; "SORRY TO SAY, YOUR POSITION IS FILLED. FOUND ANOTHER LADY, WITH LOTS MORE EXPERIENCE...NO NEED FOR YOU TO COME IN AGAIN BUT IF SHE DOESN' T WORK OUT... I'LL CALL YOU. BECAUSE YOU WOULD BE MY NEXT CHOICE..."

Did I just get fired with no warning??? Can he do that?? What the hell? I'm so upset, what do I do, I'm back to square 1!!! cries :(
