You know... I got laid off for personality reasons before... The official reason was that the boss said the supervisor on the job said she didn't want me anymore. The supervisor told me afterwards (apolgising profusely for having gotten me canned) that she told the boss to give me work deserving of my intellect, and not the shit that the boss was giving me.
Supervisor could never figure out why the boss disliked me. Boss apparently bristled every time my name was mentioned. Supervisor got boss back by switching to a different contracting company later, but keeping the people who'd replaced me... Effectively cutting the boss out of the contracting loop and not getting her bonus, while not getting rid of the people who actually did the work. *smirk*
There are times when people just don't take a shine to you, and it may not have anything to actually do with you. You could have reminded someone of their detested cousin when they were growing up, even if you didn't act anything like her.
I'm so sorry you got hit with this... If it makes you feel any better *I* like you... I'd hire you if I could, but the commute would be killer...
