[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does that mean no one from his job can give him a reference? I don't understand why his local boss wouldn't be able to be a good reference for him[/quote]

NP here.  He can always ask, but do not be surprised if he gets no response or a negative response.  From the sounds of how things went last week, it is quite possible that HR or management has asked the employees not to be in contact with him and not to provide any written reference.  Having seen a similar situation in an IT contracting company, employees were informed not to provide anything more than dates of employment because if you were not careful, you could create a legal situation where there was none.  In the given case, the employee in question was a racial minority and the fear was that there could be grounds to make an EEO complaint against the company for wrongful termination (which did not happen).   However, there are other instances where management or HR can give instructions not to contact a terminated employee.[/quote]
