Whether you keep your job is entirely up to your employer. They could have fired you for any reason before you said you quit; so they are free to fire you for saying you quit even if you didn't mean it. The only real legal issue here is whether you will qualify for unemployment if they do not let you come back to work. Generally, having said you quit before they fired you would mean you are not entitled to unemployment. You MIGHT be able to persuade the EDD that you never meant it and so it was, in fact, an involuntary termination. But don't count on it.
