Rants and Stuff / Inter-office politics go too far

My boss got fired today. Â I like my boss, he was a good guy who worked his butt off to do a good job and get things done. People like him and want to help him.
Today I find he's been fired in favor of  the new manager who was hired a few months back and is a complete idiot, who does maybe HALF the work Mark did and does it poorly ( like loosing raise requests we turned in for agents).  Apparently this new guy  had been making all sorts of surrepeticious complaints about him to management about how he "never gets anything done."  Pot? Kettle.
And you know what? He's insulted his bosses before, said they don't knowwhat they're doing - in front of me and other witnesses. When we had a meeting to complain and discuss it, he denied it all. Said we were making it up or must have been misinterpreting what he said. And management just eats it up because he's their little golden boy. Â
So my boss lost his job today. Â Because apparently every single problem our account is having right now was his fault.
Right.  The other team leads and I feel very angry and betrayed right  now.  Let's see how that kind of work environment helps productivity.
