Bad boss departing (and trying to take me down with her)

Posted by: rndmtask

So I found out that my boss will be leaving for good after maternity leave. She's been irrational and angry at everyone since she got her new boss, and she's decided to take the scorched-earth approach and try to anger everyone on the way out. That's affected my job significantly. I'm interested in working to get promoted, but I know that she's been trying to bury me in her succession discussions with the higher-ups. Any ideas on what I can do to protect myself and still try for that promotion?
