Here is where I see the problem "the guy that got fired was a VP", but the replacement - she is only a Director.  Is this 'policy' they're talking about in the handbook (documented for all employees to know) or is this something that is just known or SOP?  Even if it is a written policy most large corporations have exception policies in place - such as when the job requires a certain level of 'respect' (in title) due to acceptance internationally.  It seems that being a woman puts you at a disadvantage internationally (unfortunately, this is still common in many cultures) by not being a VP; then by the same token it puts your company at a disadvantage by not recognizing you as such.  Whatever happens get it in writing.
