unlawfully terminated?
On Friday I was told my by my employer that I was being "let go", because the company was restructuring. My employer sited "personality conflicts" and my inability to do certain tasks (none of which were never addressed before in written or verbal documentations). I find out today that a new man was hired to fill my position. I feel burned by my employer as I work in a male dominated job (I'm female). I'm not sure if this is wishful thinking or me being hurt, but I feel that I was wrongfully terminated and don't want the company to do this to others.

The Question is Why
There is no such thing in New York State as "wrongful termination," but your brief query suggests that your termination might have been motivated by your gender/sex. If that were the case, then you might have a sex discrimination case.
I am too far from you to be of help. If you find an attorney closer to you, then you should be prepared to answer two critical questions. First, do you believe your employer terminated you because of your gender? If you answer this first question, yes, then what makes you believe that the termination was motivated by gender? That is, what was done, or said that causes you to believe that? These are the basic questions that I need answered in just about every discrimination case that comes my way.
