Sounds like they found someone who can do your and is willing to do it for less money otherwise it doesn't make sense why they would replace you.
That sucks especially with positive reviews and everything going well.
Best of luck in the job hunt

Love you dude.
Yeah, I think so too. They only told me that "they're afraid if I'm capable of managing next month's sales". Whatever that meant.
But yeah, thanks guys.

Wow thats a shame 🙁
Honestly you are probably better off though. If thats the best "excuse" management can give you on why you were fired then they're obviously not competent people to work under.

Well my friend, here's hoping you have the last laugh when the new guy they've brought in instead isn't capable of managing next month's sales and the company goes under.
Or if the new guy turns out to be an undercover cop who uncovers that the business is just a front for a major crime ring 😀
ive watched too many movies, i guess

This is your replacement. They weren't looking for quality...

I say crack open some of the great Finnish Licorice Vodka and if you're in Helsinki (closer-ish to Riga) go for the Balsam out of the ceramic bottle.
pppsssttt ... don't tell these guys what your unemployment benefits are because you'll lose all sympathy.
unless you were still under probation, and then 🙁

Not too sure about this kind of stuff but arn't there laws against firing/replacing someone without proper reason?
If someone knows more about this please shed some light for our brother here.
Most places have 30 day or more "probation" periods. Any reason, any time they can let you go without a real reason... Besides they can always find a reason.
Surely

Yes, and it works both ways. I left a job on less than 24 hour notice. It was just a timing issue, but I was being ridiculously underpaid.
Good thing is that if a company is willing to let you go that quick without care then they obviously weren't good enough for you. It probably saved you wasted time, stress, and dissatisfaction from working for a company that seems to not care about its people.

At least you got 3 weeks. I got the 'this is not the job for you' conversation on day 5. After being out of work for way too long, I thought things were turning around....🙁

Take a critical look back on your performance, because it clearly was not up to the standards they expected. Sounds like it was so far off they didn't even have the heart to tell you why - they just saw you were not going to be able to deal effectively with the job.
If this area is a career choice, figure out how to improve your skills in this area.
If it was just a job, move on and get another one.
That sucks man 🙁
My mom got laid off 2 months ago, so I know where you are coming from. She built up a very large client base, but the company laid her off out of the blue. But keep your head up and apply for as many jobs as possible! That is what she did and she found a job making double what she did at her old place.
Maybe the same can happen to you? 🙂
