You can retort: "I find you unmotivating and unskilled as a manager. You have no people skills and require a stronger mouthwash. A good manager can facilitate anyone. You are a poopy-head."

That's the point at which you offer to eave if you're such a problem. Of course, being that it's so sudden, maybe 3 months' severance with ful benefits? I think when someone says something like that, he's trying o get you to quit because lots of places, it's real hard to fire someone. Good compromise is mutual resignaton with benefits.
