Who do I ask for a reference after a layoff? - 10 weeks in

My manager was laid off too and I am unsure who to use as a reference. I do not usually post, so bear with me. A colleague offered to vouch for me.

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It saved me later.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
