One step forward, two steps back.
Today, my boss thanked me for all my hard work and promised me a raise and a promotion. Shortly thereafter, she sent out a memo announcing she'd sold the company. The new owner immediately came in to "restructure." I got demoted. FML

Honestly, you probably deserved it. Without more information, I'm going to assume that your boss deserved it as well.

This is what happens regularly when corporate lobbyists run the country. Just think of all the employees laid off as CEOs walk off with $800million bonuses.

Hey the Company has to get the money to pay for your boss's new raise from somewhere. Might as well come from the money they were throwing away on your useless ass.

Maybe the two aren't linked. Were you fired for economic reasons?
