This is a long list but to be short, the company has been partially bought out by an investment firm. They have since let a lot of people go, including myself. This is to make the books look better by hiring managers at a lower rate, which mean lower skill level. In my case, the manager that was hired was clueless. To compound this, he was a non-US citizen who had a serious chip on his shoulder. He was constantly complaining about everything in this country. He despised me because I was a white male US citizen with more experience. His insecurity led to my termination. NO ROOM FOR ADVANCEMENT!
