[quote=Anonymous]I'm so close on a job I really want! They asked for three references. Well, I'm in the market as I was laid off after 10 years at a company. I have two references who were close colleagues, but they also need a manager, so I have to put down the person who laid me off -- he was my manager the whole time. We had a good working relationship for a decade, but he's also the one who laid me off. How do I handle this? I'm sure he won't sabotage me, but is it also awkward to list someone who let you go? Clearly they thought I was dispensable enough to lay off (even though it was due to a larger restructuring plan). He offered to be a reference when he laid me off. Help?[/quote]
