It must be awful to be in your present situation. Since I don't know your situation I cannot say what for sure I would do. I would probably call back to your manager and ask them about them situation at hand, possibly why they called you off, and if so, why have they not called you back. That's where I would start, and then go from there.

You have a couple of choices. I would call them back and see what the situation is and if they terminated you. If you just started the job and was planning to quit, quit. Move on and leave it off your resume

because we don't know what is the story we can't tell you the answer .only you know that .if you feel that you did not do any thing wrong do not call them it is like begging them to take you back go find some thing else cause if tou will go back you will be under microscoup .

I agree. If you were already planning to quit, this would be a good time to do so.
