My boss didn’t let me finish my two weeks, am I fired?

Hello! I wrote a couple posts before this about how I was leaving Crumbl cookies. My last days were supposed to be tomorrow and Saturday. The manager I originally gave the letter confirmed this. Today, I went into my app we use to clock in and see our schedule, when I noticed that I was signed out of it. I talked to one of the shift leads, who is also my friend and they confirmed that it was indeed my gm. They said he was being petty and he signed me out. The shift lead said they would ask if I could come into work but to not count on it. So was I fired? My other manager still has proof I put in my two weeks and I also have text proof. I really dont want this on my record as me being fired.

Boss Fucked Around and Found Out

I work at an unspecified company in an unspecified industry. A couple months ago they cut everyone’s hours from 40 to 36, kicking everyone below the poverty line. I talked to my coworkers and we decided to ask for raises. Management dragged their heels, so I ended up applying to other companies. I got lucky, nailed an interview, and landed my dream job with a 75% raise. I put in my two weeks’, and my boss got all cold and petty. Then my boss pulled me and my coworkers aside one by one, and told us not to talk to each other about wages. I promptly finished my shift, packed my things, and sent them an email with my immediate resignation, citing the law that had been broken under the NLRA. “I will not be complicit in, nor turn a blind eye, to any illegal activity”, I said.
