Liberated from evil

I lost my job, I was 'laid off' because my new boss is an idiot. She just couldn't stand me from day one for no apparent reason. At first she agreed to try to work with me and eventually shrank into giving me the silent treatment, like a stupid kid. Mostly because she screwed up big time after going against my advice. Eventually she started undermining my authority with my staff by having them work on secret assignments behind my back and trying to reorganize my office structure without telling me. Finally she got the big bosses to agree to lay me off 'due to departmental reoganization' which basically means she had to give me six months salary, this because she had no just cause to fire me as i had done nothing wrong and was popular with everyone. She started posting my job 3 weeks before even telling me and arranged for my underlings to take on my responsibilities, how she got the university (i worked at Columbia) to agree to this is beyond me and in a way borders on un-lawful actions. I may still decide to pursue this with a lawyer...
