Legal Question in Employment Law in Florida

I'm a security guard. I'm employed by a company that has contracts with multiple buildings and locations. They assign guards to regular posts where needed. I usually work 3PM-11PM Monday through Friday. I received a call on Saturday afternoon from my boss(the regional manager), he left me a voicemail saying that I'm not longer assigned to the site I worked at and to call the office on Monday morning to talk about reassignment or to come see him Wednesday at the office. I called him back and left a voicemail telling him I had a few questions.

On Monday, I called the office twice, the office manager told me he'd call me right back both times. I called a third time and the phones were forwarded to regional office and they told me they didn't know what was going on. I called back the next day(yesterday) and asked the office manager if he had heard anything and he said "No." and hung up the phone. I visited the office today(Wednesday) and the office manager told me that the regional manager was not in. I asked him what was going on and told him that I was concerned for spending the last few days not being able to get an answer from anybody about the status of my employment. He told me it was nothing negative and they're just making schedule changes. About an hour later, I got 3 texts from the regional manager telling me that he's still hasn't reviewed my file and will let me know tomorrow whether I've been reassigned or terminated.

I've worked for this company for 18 months. I was written up one time for being late twice(security tends to be strict with lateness). That was my only write-up, I'm not sure when it was exactly but I'd guess around 6 months ago. I haven't been told by anybody lately that I was doing anything wrong.

My question is can an employer cut my hours in this way? Can I be left on the hook like this for days with no explanation and be terminated at the end? I feel like I've been suspended with no explanation.
