Well I may have made a mistake. HR wrote to me the other day asking how I am doing and to check in. That was nice of her, I thought, especially since I am no longer with the company. Then, after emailing my CEO early Friday about a written LinkedIn recommendation as well, and after NOT hearing back from him either, I wrote HR a note telling her how disappointed and disheartened I was about the fact that not one single person had agreed to write me a recommendation. I informed her of contacting two individuals twice, and the CEO Friday morning, and I told her that it is most disheartening after devoting my heart and soul to my work for two years to not hear back from any one of the three people.

I hope doing so won't harm my reference with the CEO. I really need his glowing endorsement for future employment. I imagine at the worst, HR will inform him that I was disappointed and hurt by not hearing from him? I hope that's the worst that will happen.
