Donna - The fact that you found out at the same time that everyone else did is now history.  You have to finish with that, close the book on it and move forward.  

What everyone else's opinion is about your new boss doesn't really matter either.  What matters is what your opinion is about your new boss.  Try not to let other people's opinions colour the way you react to your new boss.  

If I let other people's opinion colour my reaction to my "new" boss two years ago, I would have quit my job and missed out on the most exciting two years of my job.  In the mean time, my boss and I have forged a great relationship.  My boss has now moved on to a new department and brought me along with him.  In addition, he has given me a new role (partner relations manager) and new responsibilities that no one else would have given me a chance at.  While I'm not saying every new boss will be great, I'm just saying give her a chance.

Close the past and get on with your future.
