If my employer conducts an organizational change in which causes me to get a demotion from a Superintendant to a Supervisor, does this constitute a constructive discharge?

my boss said I quit but I didn't

Three weeks ago I joined a new company (privately owned) after resigned form my full time permanent job. I was terminated from my new job after 2 weeks without any specific reason. I have been told verbally that they let me go and took back my access card. They did not provide me with any computer for the first week of work. They did not given access to any network drive on the second week of work. They really have not given me any chance to prove my skill as an accountant. Anyway, hiring process you have followed is very suspicious, calling at night time for the interview. Owner of the company told me they want to fire existing Accountant. Now they put me in a difficult situation where I quiet from my previous full-time permanent position, as a result, I have no job now. I have not faced this kind of embarrassing situation before. Please advise whether I am entitle to received Pay in lieu of notice (three weeks’ notice period my side) or anything that I can do.

can i be replaced after bein laid off, without informing me.

I got fired today after being there for 3 years, with no write ups, and only a verbal discussion about an incident. I received a package as to why I was fired which was never brought to my attention on the day that it happened, or days to follow. Within this package was my only write up that I only received today when the incident happened back in December of 2017. The other 3 customer complaints happened between January 2018 to March 2018. Again, I was unaware until given this package today and could read of them. Not to mention 2 is questionable given the fact that other employees were there. Was I wrongfully terminated?
