Thread regarding Qualcomm Inc. layoffs

Has anyone successfully got good references after being laid off

Seems not from my own observation. What to do if an interviewer asks for one?

Anyone who you’ve known and have worked with on one or more projects can give you a good reference. Don’t give Manager or their Manager or Managers reference because the fact that they are letting you go means you probably should not trust them further in your career with KEY responsibilities I think.

As a former talent management employee with the Q, HR will only verify position and dates of employment. Most references from former management are taken with a grain of salt.

Just don't accept what your manager fill in your appraisal form. Or accept with a note written that " accept with disagreement". Then give official HR email for reference. This way HR will be sc--wed from giving negative feedback back to other company. This way performance appraisal will remain in dispute without conclusion.

Yes. Use a coworker who you trust as a reference. Don't use your former manager as a reference.
