No. “Unconstitutional” means the government can’t make it a law, but your employer isn’t the government and can hire or fire pretty much whoever they want, for whatever reasons they want. The only exception would be if the legislature had passed some law saying that an employer may not consider vaccination status when making hiring and firing decisions.
The Constitutional anti-discrimination protection is the 14th amendment, and it applies to federal state and local governments, but not to a private employer - it's no help if an employer wants to discriminate in their hiring and firing practices.
Anti-discrimination laws do apply to everyone, not just the government. But there's no law banning discrimination on the basis of vaccination status yet, so that's no help either.
Edit: Aside from getting your lawmakers to pass a law prohibitig employment discrimination on the basis of vaccination status, there is as another possibility: a good faith religious objection to vaccination might work, because employment discrimination on the basis of religion is not allowed.
So my employer says if I want to come back to work at the office, I have to wear a mask or be vaccinated. This would counteract that, right ?
yes.
Lawyer up if you're fired, and go big.

Not necessarily. It could also mean discrimination. Which is covered under constitutional law.
