I am entirely unsurprised the old one fired you -it had morphed to a point where it sounded like a very unhealthy place, run by people who really did not understand how a company works - that having people who love what they do, independently tackle the next task and think about how to make the job better, and who go out and look for more training so they'll be better at their jobs beats micromanagement handsdown - you probably know a lot more about the actual work than your new overboss does, but he's the MANAGER and thus can't allow anyone else to make decisions. Or some sort of male chest-beating like that.
So, you've had a good time, you've learnt a ton, now you're moving on - it'll be exciting in a new way.
