Legal Question in Employment Law in North Carolina

I was employed with the same company for 16 years in NC. I let my boss know at the end of June that I would probably be moving in 3-4 months but not positive because we had our home for sale & I was waiting to see if it sold. I let her know that whenI knew for sure of the move date that I would give her a 2 week notice. The next week she told me they hired my replacement & as soon as I trained her I could move to Collections or help where needed until I gave my notice. I felt like she threw me under the bus. Can they do this? This put me under tremendous stress!!!

Here you told them you may or may not be leaving. This was actually admirable...but they have the right to get themselves prepared for your potential resignation.,
