I also think that remote work creates situation where you don’t really get to know people well, no connections are formed, so he might feel he doesn’t even know you. I am surprised they are 100% remote as most companies have at least part time in person interaction nowadays, unless you are out of state

He told me multiple times that my work was "awesome" - I asked him for feedback directly on my work too. And he gave me compliments. Perhaps their decision to let me go has swayed his decision to not write a recommendation.
I really don't know.
And it's not strange that the company is 100% remote. There are many digital agencies across the country that are 100% remote.
Many companies are also turning to a remote work model due to covid and the Great Resignation. I wrote an article about remote work for my last company, so I've researched the topic.
My CEO started her company thinking that she would simply consult on her own. But she gained clients and had to scale. She initially hired top talent as contractors. Then, it evolved from there into hiring full time employees, but from top applicants across the country. Her company is only six years old.
But now, in the corporate world, it's not strange to find many fully remote positions. That's what I keep finding available and am applying for.
