I understand companies can do what they want. But working for this company I felt unappreciated, rarely thanked for my hard work, they pin pointed stupid things on me, just a toxic work environment overall. Came to work on time, did my job and went home, what more can someone ask for. I told them I found a new job a few days ago. The president of the company tells me, you know how much money we invested in you. I was doing this job for one thing — make money and leave. Companies don’t give a heads up if they lay people off. I swear the hypocrisy of employers, glad I left that place and have another opportunity with more growth.
I mean... good?
Obviously you will not be relying on them for a reference and their act is outright childish. But!
It is, from a practical viewpoint, almost always better to be fired for no good reason than to quit yourself. This often entitles you to a bunch of pay and other compensation which is why many companies jump through a lot of hoops to make people quit rather than fire.
Now it is also possible you have no course of action, although it does sound like they lacked grounds for firing you. They could have certainly suggested you just forego the two courtesy weeks but they did not. They fired you. Again, almost always this means free money. Congrats.

Did they give you any kind of reason, other than the president saying that they invested money in you? Yeah it is weird.
