You don't want to work for people like that anyway!
BTW, I bet it had nothing to do with your leadership skills. Times are tough and they just needed to cut expenses. Instead of admitting they made a mistake by hiring too many people the pricks blamed their misjudgment on you.
Do what? that is horrible, people have no respect now a days, I hope they lose their job so they will know what it is like. have you had any luck finding a new job?
