Great News! My husband was laid off one month ago. Two phone interviews so far...

Thanks! I wish your husband the best of luck.

HR Manager here. A company is free to tell a potential new employer why the employee was fired. Even if the reason is not correct, if the company believes it then it can be said.

I have it from a very reliable source that most big corporations will not do that. I know someone that works in upper management for sport team arenas, and they are not allowed to say anything other than "That person worked here."

This sucks going both ways as a good word is just as important to hear, but that's how it is.
