To not get laid off, I had to return to being a manager (or I had to be a manager again.)
Thanks Ecuanime ... much appreciated
Another option would be: In order to avoid being left out, I had to go back to being the Boss. I don´t like it, but I had nochoice".Quote:

I agree with Hebe. The suggestion was pretty good!

Hebe's example sounds a bit awkward, and so did my first post. You could omit "In order" and could just leave "To avoid." Although "left out" is translated literally, it does not fit with the sentence. Maybe use the expression "left out in the cold" or "being without a job"Quote:
