Demonstrating that you knew appropriate things to do when in conflict with a colleague can end up turning something negative like being laid off into a positive “I did everything I could in an un-winnable situation” | |

They only have one side of the story, so they'd automatically be sceptical when you try to put the blame on someone else. In what way does this sound different from someone who was reasonably let go making excuses, blaming their manager, being a bad team player and/or refusing to see or accept their own faults? Trying to resolve the issue is good, but that doesn't negate the problem of it sounding like you think it's ultimately the manager's fault. | |
