Legal Question in Employment Law in Georgia

Verbal Notice of Resignation

I had given my employer verbal notice that I would puruse other

positions outside of the company. I changed my mind, having

never given written notice, my employer said that they had already

hired my replacement and decided to end my employment

immediately. I refused to agree. I felt that I was actually laid off to

hire two people as replacements, due to other conversations. I

was told that I could be terminated, which was later recanted. I

was never given written explanation or any other paperwork in this

process. Is this right, legal?
